Hello,
There are some steps you can try in order to recover the vault files .
-
copy the vault and secure access application from the write protected drive over to the new drive
-
run secure access on the new drive
-
when it prompts to create a new vault go ahead and create a new vault with the exact same password as the old vault
-
encrypt any file in the new vault (this will generate two new system files)
-
close secure access
-
open the vault folder on the new drive via windows explorer, navigate to the system files folder, you should see several files, among them are two sets of "USB Flash Drive-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.idx and .bak files
-
Looking at the date stamps of the files, 2 will be older and 2 will be newer (you can also check on the old write protected drive to confirm the names of the older files, the older files contain the encryption information needed however the file name is associated with the previous drive we will need to rename the old files)
-
copy the 2 newer files and paste them into any temporary location outside of the flash drive (i.e… desktop)
-
once you’ve copied the two new files to a temporary location delete the originals from the system files folder on the flash drive.
-
go to the temporary location and copy only the file name from the .idx file (the file name, not the file itself)
-
go to the vault / system files and rename the old .idx file with the name you copied from the new .idx file
-
repeat the same for the idx.bak file
-
now you should have renamed the old .idx and .idx.bak files with the names of the newly generated system files.
