Is there any simple way to access data that Norton or McAfee encrypted (such as documents in the My Documents Folder) when the hard drive containing the data is hooked to a different computer? There are many reasons why the computer that hosts the hard drive will not boot into Windows. Two I can think of real fast are 1. Windows is not bootable OR 2. The motherboard is dead in the computer that hosted the hard drive. I have been unable to recover customer's data several times recently due to one or both of these problems. I guess there is no substitute for properly backing up important data to writable media. Most customers have no idea their data is being encrypted when they install one of these products.
Couldn't you back up the encrypted data, put it on another machine, install NIS and decrypt it, then back up the decrypted version?
