Well, that pretty much says it all. I encrypted a directory with bitlocker in Vista Ultimate and then did a new install with Windows 7 Professional. The encrypted file is on another disk. Is there anyway I can decrypt the file? As you might expect, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is for my wife's laptop. We bought it with Vista installed and the option of a free upgrade from Dell to Windows 7. I followed both supplied disks including removing the McAfee Anti-Virus, Itunes, Google Toolbar and proceeded with the upgrade. This ran for about 2 hours at the end of...
