Vista - Unable to access encrypted files after crash

Unable to access encrypted files after crash

Was running Vista X32 Ultimate. Two folders where encrypted with EFS and the keys were never exported. No passwords were ever entered for the certificates either. The data on the crashed drive is intact, and can be access by connecting to another computer running Vista X64 Home Premium. Cannot copy the files, open the files, can't do anything with them, but I can see them.

Is there a way to still export the certificates from the crashed drive? The certificates have to be there, can I just find the certs and copy to USB then import the certs in to the other computer?

Need help!!!
