Re: EFS + unbootable HDD help ...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hey Jupiter (and others)

But AFAICS I *do* have the original keys - at least I'm able to recover
all the files from the *original* installation - that is both
1) Documents and
Settings/<user>/ApplicationData/Microsoft/<crypto/protect/SystemCert's>
2) The different registry hives

So what makes you say that I don't have the original keys??

As for Jason' suggestion: AFAIU XP doesn't make the local administrator
(non-domain installation) a recovery agent? (or did I misunderstand
something?)
