Hi,

I might have missed a post, and I apologize if I have, but didn't I read
the original poster has "a drive" where there's a directory with
EFS-encrypted files?  Is this an image or a copy of the original drive?
I guess I got lost where the system disk was wiped, but he/she has a
drive ...

How did this directory with these EFS-encrypted files get to this other
drive?  

If we know more we might be able to offer more assistance.  

regards,

farmerdude

Dear Richard,

You could try EFS key from Passware but to retrieve the files, the 
encryption password must be known or SAM database must be present.

There is also Advanced EFS Data Recovery from Elcomsoft available at 
http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html
But again it requires the EFS key to be present or the user password and 
syskey to be known to the user.
