Your .CER file was created successfully.
Your .PFX file was created successfully.

The Eagent.cer and Eagent.pfx files will be saved in the current directory that is shown at the command prompt. Example: The command prompt displays C:\Documents and Settings\admin> the two files are saved in the admin folder. (For security concerns, you should house the two files in your Administrator folder or on a floppy disk).

The Certificate Import Wizard will appear. Click Next. Browse to the C:\Documents and Settings\admin folder.

Make sure the Radio button is active for the first option (Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certifcate). Click Next. Click Finish. (You'll receive a message that the import was successful). To confirm the import, close Certificates Manager and re-open it. Expand the Personal folder and you will see a new subfolder labeled Certificates. Expand that folder and you will see the new entry in the right side column. Close Certificate Manager.

4. Go to Start/Run and type in secpol.msc and click OK. This will launch the Local Security Policy.

basta ur working with encrypted files sa iyahang system mismo, its just like normal and usual things ra gud. copy, move, edit etc.

kay by the time ako gi copy ang files, naa man ko sulod sa iyang previous OS kay nag andar pa man.

the very bad thing lang jud, wala jud nako tan awa ang mga files ug maayo. i didnt even noticed nga "green" ang color sa fonts sa filenames.

threre was just two locations to back up the "image complete" in root drive C: and the files nga nagkatag sa desktop. mao ra jud. what i just did

i created 1 folder on drive c: named "back up"
drag the "image complete" folder into it
then highlighted all the scattered files sa desktop => cut => then paste to the folder
finally copy the "back up folder" then paste to the root of my external hdd

it only took 7-9mins to copy all of it

karon the problem, niana jud sya "this is calamity, ive lost my 20 years of files"
paeta jud mga bros. guilty jud ko. guilty ko ngano wala jud nako gitan aw ang mga files. if gitan aw pa to nako, ako jud to na noticed then na disable pa unta nako ang encryption

Try kuno recover your external drive which had encrypted to any Linux distro. I know that FAT and NTFS are fully supported to read and write on it. Just try lang. Post here if it works.
