Solve : Encrypted files from OLD LAPTOP. Recovery??

Answer»

Hi,
I recently removed my oldhardrive from a laptop that stopped working and I can ACCESS the files that are not encrypted but all my music is encrypted and I cant access them. Does anyone know ANY way to access the files that are encrypeted?

You dont? I just really want my 1000's of songs back after I destroyed my old Vaio laptop. Is there a way?What encryption was used?

I dont know? How would I find out? Windows did it if that helps?How do you know they are encrypted?

Right click > properties > advanced > encrypt contense to secure date (BOX ticked)If you have used Windows encryption, you may as well give up. That data is GONE, if you don't know the password.
I have the Old account password?  Are the encrypition keys not stored on the hard drive somewhere?Is this iTunes stuff?




Yeah they are music files that I used iTunes to PLAY. If you move the files to a new computer (which is what you have done) you need to authorize that computer on iTunes.

Its not that, i cant physically move the mp3 files off the hardrive or add them to itunes off the hardrive. I get a permissions error, only some of my music files are marked as encrypted, those without the encryptions i can move,copy and add to itunes fine, its just the ones that are 'encrypted' i can do sweet FA with. Anymore ideas, did itunes do this to the files on my old computer?If the files are encrypted there's nothing you can do.Can I not access the certificates somehow, i have the hardrive from the old computer in an enclosure are then not stored in there somewhere?
