Ok, I'm not the person who posted the non-question, but I have a question/problem on the same topic.
I have a USB external drive that I plug into my desktop computer. On that drive I create encrypted files (using XP Pro's built-in EFS). I have no problem accessing those files on that drive on that computer.
However, I want to be able to access those files when I plug that USB drive into another computer (my laptop), and I have not been able to figure out how to do it. I have tried exporting the keys (the .pfx file) from the desktop system and importing them into my laptop, that does not work. I have tried "taking ownership", that doesn't work.
Please note, this is a "workgroup" situation, there is no domain or domain controller, there is no "recovery agent" or "recovery policy".
I need step-by-step instructions for reading the EFS encrypted files on the portable usb hard drive when that drive is plugged into a computer other than the one on which the files were originally encrypted. Of course, I have full access to both machines and to any relevant passwords.
.
