I have an HD partitioned into 2 drivers, C and D. Because I am on a wireless
network at school, I encrypt all my files I don't others to see. Two nights
ago I was doing an automated software upgrade that failed. To make a long
story short, I had reformat the C drive and reinstall windows. Now I can't
access the encrypted files. Is there anything I can do access them?

The computer name is the same. The account name was different, but I was
able to boot into safe mode under the default administrator account and
change the name back to the original, but this didn't work. Please help ;(
I have a back up of the files, but there are a couple files that I had not
yet backed up that I need.
