To access the encrypted files - after formatting the C drive

Certain folders on my hard drive was encrypted by mistake and so that the upgrade of RAM, C drive has been formatted by the technician. Now I'm unable to access folders that have important information. I believe that the certificate for decryption was lost when the disk has been formatted. Is any way I'll be able to access these files

There is no way to access it without the decryption key and the original system of o0perating, yet another reason not to use encryption

    Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

    I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

    Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    "Best practices for EFS file system.

  • Stopper 0x000000F7 blue screen error occurs when you try to access the floppy drive.

    The error occurs on computers 3differnt.  Sometimes using "My Computer" to access the floppy drive.  Malware, spyware and viruses, the computer has been verified.  Clean everything. No new disk drivers listed.

    Tell us what you have done that you are convinced that it's clean... Here is a description of the error code in the Windows debugging tools help file:
    "Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER.
    Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER

    Bug DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER control has a value of 0x000000F7. This indicates that a driver has saturated a stack-based buffer.

    Cause

    A driver invaded a buffer based on the stack (or a local variable) in a way that would have replaced the function's return address and jumped to an arbitrary address when the function returned. »

    This is the classic "buffer overflow" attacks of piracy in my opinion. The system has been reduced to prevent a malicious user to take complete control of it.

    This is very probably a malware problem or a problem with a driver.  I suggest several anti-malware scans to make sure you are clean and then begin to check your drivers to see if there are some more updated versions available.

  • Router Linksys WRT1900ac - unable to access the USB drive shared on the WiFi 5 GHz

    Hello

    I have a strange problem. I use my Linksys WRT1900ac for almost a year and it works great. There is a USB hard drive plugged into it and I have no problem to access the data. I brought a new desktop computer that is compatible 5 GHz. All my other devices are connected trought 2.4 GHz.

    When I connect my computer to the 5 GHz WiFi network, I have access to the internet and any other player shared the router. It I connect it to the network 2, 4 GHz, it works. The 2.4 and 5 GHZ networks have the same configuration. The only difference is the SSID. I added 5g at the ent of the 5 GHz one.

    I really don't understand why I can't access the shared drive of the 5 GHz network and it works on the 2, 4 GHz. I forgot something?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    It could be that when you connect to the 5 GHz network, your PC is set to public and therefore discovery network is disabled, then you are not able to see the drive.  Just throw it out there.

  • How to access the hard drive USB on E3000? Am I missing something?

    I have my router configuration fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't understand how to access the hard drive of my laptop, however.  The manual says to put 192.168.1.1 in the field the address of windows Explorer, but it gives me just the 'Setup' page for the router.

    Am I missing something simple?  I use Windows XP.

    Click on start - go to start > Run/start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press on enter and it should ask the user name and password, the user name and password, use "admin" all lower case, and then click Ok... Now you should be able to see your USB... You must make a right click on it and select "Map network drive" and check the Enable box and below click Finish... It will map the USB on your computer... Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

  • How can I access my PhotoShop files after the end of my free trial? (Mac OS)

    How can I? Support cat Adobe said they couldn't help me. I don't think I pay Adobe PhotoShop to access the files that I legally own (must love what they teach you all copyright to the school) who are on my own personal computer.

    The files must be stored on your computer.

  • Cannot access the network drive after trying to change the shared folder.

    I had a 80 GB drive connected to my E3000 for a few years and it worked without problem. I recently turned to a 250 GB Maxtor One Touch drive. When I plugged it, the router automatically creates a shared folder. I was able to connect to this folder without problem, but I wanted to share the whole score. When I made this adjustment and tried to save the settings, I temporarily lost access to the router. He gave me the standard page cannot be error message appears. When I got access changes seem to be made. When I try to access the drive of my laptop I get this error message, "the mapped network drive could be created", "the name specified network is no longer available". I rebooted and power rolled my router as well reconnected the drive.

    I think that since you have replaced your hard drive, old settings are configured may still on the hard drive of old. You can change the users and group so that it syncs with the new hard drive or start from scratch (reformat the hard drive).

    Dear Sir.

    I format my PC, but after that I get to open files

    can u pls help me

    Concerning

    Waleed

    If you make reference to encrypted files using EFS Windows filesystem and you do not save your credentials or create a recovery agent, and then you certainly cannot recover the files.

    According to what you have done since the formatting the drive, it is possible that Advanced EFS Data Recovery Professional http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html may be able to help.  It is not free.
