Several weeks ago had a 750GB hard drive fail without a recent backup. Sent HD to a recovery center, they were able to recover the drives' data (which included encrypted EFS directories). They cloned the data onto a new drive. I can view the directories / files on the drive (when attached to another computer / external), but cannot access files.
I attempted to install the new clone on original system, but it does not boot (blinking cursor). I've run the Vista Automated Repair three times (states that the system is ok - reviewed log and everything passes), but system still does not boot (blinking cursor).
I need to get the system to boot so I can log in under my user ID and decrypt the files.
Any suggestions?
