Just to add, your EFS keys are stored in your user profiles and depending on how you
did your reinstall if your old profiles are still intact or on a backup from a time
after the files were encrypted you may be able to recover the data but not via normal
methods, you would needs a third party program or call MS support which would be $100
minimum either way. If you formatted the whole system partition, then you will not
get your data back. See the links below for EFS best practices. --- Steve
