Probably you've reformatted the HD from FAT32 to NTFS.
Be careful with encryption, it's a dangerous tool, particularly if you don't
understand all of its implications. Only yesterday there was a guy in the XP
group who'd lost his full backup (and hence all of his data) because he
didn't appreciate that copies of encrypted files in the backup would also be
encrypted, and couldn't be decrypted on another computer. It's an easy
mistake to make as the documentation isn't entirely clear on these points
anyway.
