rescue media

Thread needs solution

I just completed the creation of a boot rescue media using an 8 gb usb drive. Now Win 7 is constantly nagging me to back up my security encryption certificate even though I have nothing encrypted on the drive. Can I back this up to the same USB disk without hurting its functionality ?

Yes, once your Acornis drive is created, you can still use it for other data - just be careful to not delete anything that acronis put on it.  If you need to upgrade the rescue media down the road, there's a good chance it will get formatted in teh process, so makes sure you don't lock yourself out without a key.  

It sounds like you may not have disk encryption enabled, but possibly are using file/folder encryption somewhere.  

Take a look at some of these Microsoft forum posts for details about cipher
