To access the EFS data from another disk using original certificates/keys

I use EFS on a Workgroup XP - Pro, SP3 and have backed up keys.  I am trying to access the files on this disk now mounted in another machine (also SP3 of XP - Pro and in a working group).  I can load the certificates of the first machine in the second machine by double clicking it.  Once the certificates are loaded, how decipher you?  I get "Access denied" when I right click and try to decrypt the files on the original drive.  The MS help talk about designating a "File Recovery Agent", but this procedure seems to be to area of machines and gets a bit fuzzy for working groups.  BTW, I'm testing my file recovery process.  No data is at risk.  Can you tell me FAQ to decrypt a file on a disk that is moved to another machine using the original (REC & PFX files) encryption certificates/keys?

  • Operating system applies to the machine, but the necessary recovery from another disk machine. Feasible?

    Is it possible to use another recovery disc (not the one that came with my machine) to install a copy of XP and then connect to servers internet for code review and entry of correct product key for my device?
    My repairman installed XP OS validated without problem out of the box, and I continued to date for about 2 years without problem.  This product key on my machine exactly matches my hardware profile and unique machine identifier.
    Unfortunately, I encountered a corrupted file NTKRNL and the complete refusal of all the way to windows, and THEN only do I condone my repairman for a recovery disk is defective.  They ignore my requests all sending me a disc of functional recovery.  I cannot use drive recovery from a friend to get a XP upwards and running, provided reacondicionador is totally unnecessary.
    Is it possible to use a different recovery disk, my friends for his XP machine and then have the MS servers recognize it as my old machine even that I registered at the origin of XP to and get the correct downloads by changing product key what is the cert of Authenticity on the machine?   I find that I use an incorrect product key (for my machine) to get the XP operating system to install, of course.  Have a headache MASSIVE because the material recovery turns out to not work properly now and restful can't be bothered to answer my questions either.
    My machine is not currently connected to the internet to try this, (was constantly in the past, but it has been faulty several months now so I killed the internet subscription).  The MS servers know my machine and I have an XP license valid, and I would go to the trouble to subscribe to internet contact again if I knew it would work.  Without a working computer, don't have much reason to keep my internet connection.

    There is a difference between Recovery Disk from a PC manufacturer and a Windows XP Installation CD.

    Assuming you mean the latter, it is possible - as long as the CD corresponds to the license. In other words, if your license (indicated on your COA) is, say, for Windows XP Home Edition, OEM version and if you are using an OEM Windows XP Home Edition installation CD version, then your COA product key should work. But that's the trap. Everything must match! In addition, there could be complications with some versions of the BRAND. For best results, use a generic OEM version of the CD (aka integrators).
    Here again, the System Builders CDs are not easy to find for most people. In this case, you have two other options:
    1. contact the manufacturer. Of course, Windows XP is an old OS, and I imagine that many OEMS no longer support it. :-(
    2. this site:
    Finally, many manufacturers offer a recovery partition which is actually a restore hidden on the hard disk partition:
  • When you try to import the bookmarks, the ability to import data from another browser is not active in the import and backup from the tap in the history. So, how to import bookmarks on my file?

    I followed the instructions of Firefox to import bookmarks/favorites to Internet Explorer. It does not work because the import data from another browser is not active in the import tab and backup in the history. The instructions read to use this tab, but does not work because it cannot be selected.

  • Import data from another browser - only a few favorite IE9 are transferred in bookmarks. Solution HTML - HTML file all Favorites OK, but same result

    Win7 / IE9: use for the first time. Example: A folder of Favorites has 4 entries HTML - only 2 transferred. Some have none transferred - empty folder. Others have correct random + some disappeared persons.

    All of Monday
    I can see the full list of favorite IE9 HTML in HTML file on desktop with Firefox-> new tab-> open file-> open
    .
    In the desktop HTML file, there are 37 files IE9 with no more nesting 3 deep in all of a high. They are all correct wrt favorite IE9.

    All records albums + deeper nests are copied in FF ok. Random content. Copied content works ok

    7 unassigned to IE9 HTML web sites best records are also copied <-these 7 copy on FF and work well

    Example: First file in the list of IE9 has no nesting., IE9 has 4 entries - Firefox has only 2. What other method of reproduction is used.

    BTW - please let know us how I can delete entire list of bookmarks in Firefox button to try again with a clean list of bookmarks

    I'll uninstall Firefox and start over with a clean copy and use the HTML only method to try to transfer IE (files. I'll bring result.

    BTW, I'm in the United Kingdom at the time of UK - where delays to answer - need to sleep sometime!

    Hello

    I uninstalled Firefox. Re installed and loaded with favorite IE9 to HTML file.

    All seem to be copied correctly

    Then I tried 'Import HTML file' without deleting any favorite had been copied. Always partial copied.

    Hi Robrw,

    1. when exactly you receive this error?

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

    b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

    If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

    Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

    See the following article:

    How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

    Step 3:

    You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

    Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Error: "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." when treid to install the device driver

    Original title: Windows cannot install the drivers

    I had a lot of trouble installing the drivers on my Windows computer.  I went straight in the Device Manager and deleted the devices I tried to install and reinstalled them, I went into safe mode, I got Windows to run the console and only the basic process and run from there Device Manager... no matter what I do the same mistake.

    "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

    Even after a restore of the system, he did this, and I don't know what to do anymore.  Only devices that have been previously installed work.

    What's more important install my Blackberry software because my phone is broken.  The software cannot detect my phone because the drivers have not been installed.  Most of the devices I can use with Linux (I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu running on the same computer), but RIM don't make Blackberry for Linux software, so I have to do it on Windows.

  • executable files: cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

    Hello
    I created a file named test.bat on my desk
    baptized "test.bat" and sent the notebook, wrote "REM" and recorded.
    so, I closed my notebook and reopened, has added another "REM" and saved the file again.
    then I tried to rename, move the file to another folder and delete
    everything went without any problems.

    But if I create the file and run it, the command prompt will appear for a while and then disappear.
    I can rename or move the file without any problem,
    But if I try to edit the file in Notepad, I get this error:

    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

    and the file is not saved.

    also, if I try to delete the file, it seems to be deleted until I press F5, the file appears again.
    When you try to rename/move this new file, I get another error:

    File Access Denied

    You need permission to perform this action

    You need the permission of the administrator of the computer to make changes
    in this file

    It seems the file is opened (or if I choose to delete) after a few minutes, then it is not if I try to access
    the file (I kept pressing F5 every few seconds for 15 minutes and the file is missing)

    the problem appears if occuar with any file name, anywhere, not just the office or home by car, not even on the same disk,
    while I had no problem when I started in an old installation of windows xp and repeat the same steps.

    I tried to use the sysinternals utility handle, that's what I have:
