Access encrypted files

[David Costa]

Hello guys my question is:
I recently had to re-format/ire-install my xp os .When i did that i lost
access to the encrypted files in the additional hd,I used a data recovery
software to retrieve the old os,how can i find the keys manually so i can
import them to the current os?
Thank You
David Costa

If you did not save your encryption keys before you
formatted/reinstalled, your data is lost. You might want to contact
Elcomsoft to see if their program will retrieve your data but if you
don't want to pay, then you are out of luck.
