Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2008 5:29 am Author: rono Location: Norway/Akerhus I have an 80 GB HDD which contain an encrypted folder with family pictures and videos.
This folder was encrypted by myself for 3-4 years ago.
The HDD was a slave hdd in my old computer and when I was re - formatting my master HDD I've loose my encryption key for the folder on the slave hdd.
I didn't take any backup of this key.I used encryption option in XP .
How can I get access to the files from that folder on the slave hdd?
Now i'm using Vista ,but i can install on a test computer xp if necessary ,for recovery the pictures and videos.
Any help,step-by-step guide,tips,3rd party encrypted file recovery software refferal it will be appreciated!

Not sure if it will work in your case since it is a different computer.
