Subject: EFS disaster!

Hi I accidentally decrypted some important files that were
encrypted using EFS on a WinXP SP1 machine using another
WinXP installation without any service packs. Now all data
seems to be corrupted and it is after this I discovered that
WinXP without SP1 uses different encryption for EFS. I think
my second WinXP installation without SP1 has decrypted all my
data using something other than AES.



My question is: is there any way to some how reverse this
process and recover this data? Please let me know if there is
way to recover the data.



Thanx

AN
