Hi
If you could get hold of a similar computer and put the hard drive
in it and boot your original WinXP OS, that would be the easiest
way.
If that is not possible:
As you have access to the user profile folders for the user that
encrypted the files and if you remember the password for the user
that encrypted the data, you might be able to save the files.
Take a look at this site for more details:
