Enable it.  Then you can probably right click on the file select properties and decrypt it.

[Raptor]

I donot know much about SATA, but are your hard drives detected in the BIOS? And are they configured properly?

If you wish to boot from your CD-ROM, you did remember to place the CD-ROM to the first Boot device position,  yes?

[robertmillar]

Sorry Frank

Type "efs" into your help menu.  You should get some advice on recovery agents.  Such a long time since I dealt with it  that I can't remember the procedure.

[merlin_2]

so to re-fresh this post>a whole folder full of my pictures has become encrypted and some jpeg files in another folder.  I did not encrypt them and when i try to decrypt it sya that my machine is disabled for file encryption.......so what happens if you create a new user and transfer the files to it...await outcome?

[Frank Diesel]
