Whats up everyone,

Basically I had a folder encrypted with alot of files that I had on my machine. Well I decided for format so I moved that folder along with some other files on another partition and I re-installed windows. Now when I try to access the files I get an access denied error. Is there ANY way I can gain access to my files again?

Thanks in advance!!

No. The encryption key has been lost. Kiss them good-bye.

You might take a look at this:

Or this:

Methods for Recovering Encrypted Data Files

"If you do not have the required items or information specified for the preceding recovery solutions, the data is permanently encrypted, and cannot be recovered."
