You will have toi run repair-bde command to extract the data from the encrypted volume. Boot using Win7 DVD or WinPE disk and got to command prompt. Run the below command repair-bde f: g: -rp -f -lf c:\log.txt where F is the volume which is encrypted and has data G is the portable disk where you want to have the data restored and G drive should atlaeast be equal to or more than F drive in size After repair-bde is completed, run chkdsk /r on G drive, then try to access your data. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219(WS.10).aspxManoj Sehgal
