Only if you can get your computer to boot into your old version of Windows,
or your computer was joined to a Windows 2000 domain, or you were running an
export version of Windows 2000 with 40-bit EFS encryption and have money to
pay someone to crack the decryption.
Some makers of commercial hard drive recovery and forensics software claim
they can retrieve unencrypted versions of the files from the unused space
from the original hard drive. [If what you've got is a backup of the files
on the original hard drive, this doesn't help you.]
See http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#efs for more info.
