Liam;
No, unless you can reconnect the hard drive to the computer that has
the ORIGINAL Windows XP Pro installation that encrypted the files.
Reinstalling Windows XP with same profile, password etc, will not
help.
.
If you did not back-up the encryption key or the Recovery Agent and
are not on a domain, the files are as good as gone.
EFS is very good at what it does and there is no back door.
Read and understand these links before using EFS:
