EFS problem.
Rok,
It is not sufficient to recreate an account with he same name and password. The name and password are not relevant in this case . It is all to do with the encryption keys generated for the encryption process. You need not bother trying to get reccerts it will be of no use to you without the original files from your previous (now non existent install) -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions.

When I've had to install Windows XP for the second time; I've had to erase entire MBR and then I have done an entire format of that disk, where windows XP was installed. But now when I've installed, still I've created exact user name and I've entered the same password, like I've had it before. After few years of computer experience, I think, this could not help me with getting data back, :-) or maybe I'm wrong. Still I will try to get reccerts.exe and try to get something from "it". Thank you. Regards, Rok "John Banes [MS]" wrote in message ... If you still have your user profile files from the original windows installation (the stuff under \documents and settings\username), and you still remember your password, then there's a good chance that you can still recovery your EFS data, even if you didn't back up your EFS certificate. Please call Microsoft Tech Support to obtain the reccerts.exe certificate recovery utility. If you decide to try this out, please post back here with your results.

In days later my Windows XP suddenly crashed; MBR was damaged; i was not even able to "repair" it with fixmbr and fixboot. So I've installed WinXP once again (with lots of difficulties); and now my question is if I can get those encrypted data once again? I've tried to get data in Linux to mount partition; but without success. Thank you. Best... Rok |
