This might make your brain hurt, but here goes.....I have 2 folders that were encrypted on a Windows 2000 Pro PC, using NTFS, and were backed up to a hard drive using Backup Exec. Well, my OS got bunged, and I had to reinstall, so I decided to install Windows XP Pro. No big deal. When I restored the files, the 2 folders were still encrypted and gave me access denied. Did I save the key ? No. I realize my SID has changed, and it doesn't know who I am. My question to anyone who might know is, is there a way around this ? The only thing I can think of is to restore these folders to a FAT or FAT32 partition to strip away the NTFS permissions, but I'm not sure if that will work. Anybody ?
Thanks in advance for any help
