Guest Capt Caveman Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 having updated to Windows Vista X64 Ultimate, I used it to encrypt my secondary drive, unfortunately due to a couple of problems with the install I've had to roll back to Windows XP Pro, is there any way to retrieve all the info on the second drive or do I need to re-install Vista?

Guest Carey Frisch [MVP] Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 If you don't have a backup copy of the original encryption key or a recovery certificate, you won't be able to access your encrypted files. Reinstalling Vista won't work either since the security ID will be different. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "Capt Caveman" <Capt Caveman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5086CE17-5B36-4FE1-9ADE-559BFA9481B8@microsoft.com... having updated to Windows Vista X64 Ultimate, I used it to encrypt my secondary drive, unfortunately due to a couple of problems with the install I've had to roll back to Windows XP Pro, is there any way to retrieve all the info on the second drive or do I need to re-install Vista?
