I am running WinXP Professional(as a standalone
environment) on my laptop and recently I had reason to re-
install the OS. I had backed up my files to a 2nd hard
drive.

I now cannot access the files on the backup drive - error
message - "access denied"

I have since discovered that the backup drive was
formatted as NTFS and my data is encrypted on that drive.

Is there any way I can recover or access this data as it
contains all my work and personaly files.
