Re: Windows Restore not working



XP Home does not have EFS. As the files are 'encrypted' XP home cannot un-encrypt them.

I have backed up my data on an XP Pro machine that has encrypted data (using
Windows encrypted file system). My computer died and I'm trying to restore
files to a Windows XP Home machine. I get the follownig error:

"The target file system does not support some the features of the original
file system. Some data may not be restored as a result"

How can I get my data restored???

Thanks.
