Hi I trying to recovery my lost EFS keys from the old OS, so i try to copy the windows.old to a Virtual OS, but i cant copy some files from the directory. I have full ownership, and full access, but i still cant copy necessary files. So can you help me, how can I copy all files? Or can I replace these files with others? Thanx

Hi, Would you please let me know if these files were encrypted by EFS? What error message did you receive? If you lost the EFS key, you can refer to the following method to recover it. http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/37901-efs-key-old-windows-old-new-windows-7-a.html Best Regards, Niki Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
