Postby snackerboo » Sun Dec 07, 2003 12:37 pm

I have just installed win xp home edition on a new pc.
I have added my old hard drive where I had a folder that was encryted.

Is it possible to acces this folder.

Have you tried to access the folder and had problems. Did you use a program to protect this folder and is it installed on the new Windows XP PC?

If you encrypted the folder, you'll need to create a recovery agent to access the files. There are good instructions for doing this here:
