SaltyCrak 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Sup ppl. i have this annoying little (i hope it's little) problem. the thing is that my laptop died, but the hdd is all good. i was running winxp with encryption enabled. so now i have this USB case for my hdd, and i can access it through my desktop but my files are encrypted so i can't copy them off. surely there is a way for me to export the certificates to my desktop from that hdd? i have never done this before, so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Salty Share this post Link to post

Enter filename e.g. efscert 12. Click NExt and Finish 13. Save cert to a floppy or USB stick or somewhere safe (not the HD). Share this post Link to post
