i recently just got my main HDD formatted thus loosing all main data. However
i did an encyrption on a few folders on my storage HDD which these files i'm
unable to access anymore due to the difference in the security cert. it
appears error code 5 each time i tries to add my current certif in. i got a
Access is denied each time i tries to remove encryption.

somebody shed some light in this?

Did you back up your EFS certificate before you wiped everything?
