sharing and permissions or full access???

[eldinv]

i hate to cross post but i need some help bad.. i recently upgrading from win 7 utlimate x32 to win 7 pro x64.. there are some folders and a file, that in utlimate i might have put not to share..

anyway now that i install win pro on my secondary hard drive everything was fine, except one word doc and a folder containing like 200GB of Media. i dont know what i did in win ultimate but it looks like i made them unaviable. i will post screens. the word doc (title is in green?) and doesnt let me open. i can review the contents in the media folders, but when i play with VLC it comes up with all these error messages.

i tried "taking ownership" tool both in regular windows mode and in safe mode. i looked at the sharing for the folders but i dont really know how to mess with network sharing, im not even on a network, plug directly in with modem. i was messing around in the ultimate edition with sharing, because i was basically trying to create like a password to open that file and the folder that contain my media.

please if you can think of anything i would very much appreciate it, since im stuck. that word file has important personal information i need.

by the way i tried right click properties and the security tab but unsure of what to do in there. if maybe someone could help with aim and team viewer i would appreciate it so much.

know my D drive has a little icon that means im "sharing".. im not in any network, i did what you said and still get the same message.



i cant believe this.. there is no network, plug right into modem, this is my file.

You somehow locked yourself out of that file, not sure why you would need to do that if your not in a network?

im sorry when i was in ultimate i was messing with sharing and you know how if you right click and go to share, i said share with nobody back in windows ultimate, since i was the only user i got access the files easy now that i install win pro i locked myself out.

i saw your post earlier regarding to these matters. check that post out. Your problem now is that the file was encrypted by your previous windows before you upgrading it, you go from ultimate 32 to pro 64 which contradicting.

yea the post said same thing "take ownership" ad i did that... i had ultimate x32 when i messed around and locked the file and one the folder.

then i updraded or downgraded to windows pro x64 but never took off the lock in ultimate. so now im back to where i was.. take ownership and do nothing?

If the file was encrypted in 32 bit and then you upgraded to 64 bit you are not going to be able to decrypt it

I assume you dont have a backup from the old system correct?

 

[eldinv]

no but you suggest i install windows 7 ultimate x32 bit

i did the take ownership followed tutorial to give myself full access which it says i do have. but nothing.. do im going to remove that drive, shrink my c drive and create a partition and reinstall windows ultimate 32 bit once installed, connect second hard drive and see if i can someone undo what i did.

 

[kucing13]

that might works. try installing back windows ultimate 32 and decrypt it from there

 

[eldinv]

inside of windows ultimate how would i decrypt.

 

[kucing13]

by the way i mention on your other post. and try opening the file first if it's possible

have you tried the ELCOMSOFT software?
And I'm sorry but can you post the doc file. I would like to try decrypting it myself.
I love challenging myself
It's ok if you don't want to.I'm just asking

 

[eldinv]

that file has credit card, banking stuff,ssn, lol all my personal stuff of family members.. lol. that software wants to remove passwords? like if i cant log in. i dont think this is a password related problem


read this article:


In either case, one thing you have to remember about encrypting and decrypting files in Windows is that you always need your encryption certificates/keys. When you turn on Encrypting [COLOR=orange !important][COLOR=orange !important]File [COLOR=orange !important]System[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

in Windows, encryption keys are automatically created and associated with your user account.

If you reformat a computer or move the files to another computer, you first have to export the encryption keys in order to regain access to the encrypted data.
If you do not have these encryption keys, you will not be able to decrypt the data. Sadly, there is no way around it, the encryption is very strong and cannot be broken.
If you can still open the files on a computer, you want to make sure to you create a backup of the encryption keys in case the [COLOR=orange !important][COLOR=orange !important]operating [COLOR=orange !important]system[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] ever fails and you have to copy the data to an external drive.

Sorry to hear that. If only if you have backup copy of the encryption key and certificate on your old 32 ultimate

not so since i formated it, and had no clue i even encrtped the stuff. never play with that again, also it was so easy to just delete volume of ultimate inside of win pro and then extend that volume back to my c, restarted and it was fine didnt have to boot into cd and repair boot loader, i guess since they both windows 7
