This time when i using of windows 8 pro i have some important data.
I safe the important data in permanent storage.Go to properties and i select the option of encrypt contents of secure data.
Now my important data is secure.[As above i mention i select the option of encrypt].
I have fully control on my pc and i change setting when i want to change.
Because i use windows 8 pro as Administrator.

I can't open it,i can't move it,i can't copy to another place in my pc or usb.

[you will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes.]

No matter what encryption software you use, you must Decrypt your disk drive before you continue with fresh installation. This can cause problems like your seeing here.

After a fresh install, you can't decrypt files. The information for the encryption and decryption would of been stored on the drive you wiped.
The whole purpose of encrypting your drive is to make it impossible to recover or read the drive without the right information.
You have since wiped this information. I think you will find it very difficult to decyrpt them files without the encrypted cache key or password.

Date Recovery is a option but not always successful. If you have the correct files to decrypt it would still be possible, but I would think these would of been stored on your c:\ drive.

Do you have the recovery certificate, encrypted cache key or password file that the software might use to recover the files? if not, I would say its going to be very difficult to decrypt if not impossible to decrypt.

I can never understand why a home user needs to encrypt data, unless they are paranoid or doing something dodgy.
The only type you would need to encrypt your hard drive is if you have really sensitive data on the drive, like government, military etc etc.
