Error Loading Operating System continued Solution Found
by admin on Mar.28, 2012, under Uncategorized
Error Loading Operating System continued. Have a CD that does a set up process, but can’t figure out how to do the recovery console since I don’t want to format a partition with set up. SOLUTION FOUND. Forward to 2:00 in the video and press R. If given the option press 1 and enter. For whatever reason I wasn’t given that option, but was taken to the C prompt and typed fixmbr. You get a Caution, just type Y. It takes a second to do. Then type exit and do the steps above again to take you to the set up page. Type R and then 1 and enter if given the option. Then type bootfix and Y after the warning. Then type exit and on the bootup do not hit anything and it should reboot on its own to windows XP. It worked for me. Hope this video helps others.

MCTS 70-680: Encrypting File System (EFS)
by admin on Mar.17, 2012, under Uncategorized
The Encrypting File System (EFS) is used in Windows to encrypt files so they cannot be read even using an offline attack. In order to ensure you can always access encrypted files, Windows allows a DRA to be created. A DRA is anther user that can access any files encrypted. This video looks at how the encrypted file system works and how to configure a DRA. 03:11 demo on how to encrypt files 05:52 exporting the EFS certificate using cipher /r:filename 06:22 Configuring a DRA using group policy HKEY\Computer configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Polices\Encrypting file system How EFS works A file is encrypted with a symmetric key. This is the same style of algorithm used to secure compressed files like zip. The same password or key is used to encrypt the file as decrypt the file. The symmetric key is randomized for each file and thus you need some where to store all these symmetric keys. The easiest place to store the symmetric key is in the file itself. That way if the file is moved to a different computer or hard disk the key is always present with the file. In order to make sure that the symmetric key is stored in the file can’t be read, the symmetric key is encrypted using an EFS certificate. An EFS certificate is generated for the user when they encrypt there first file or by running the command cipher /k. In a domain environment you can also configure a certificate authority to create and manage these certificates. This essentially means the …
