    If the filenames are green then they are encrypted using EFS. Unless you have a backup of your EFS cert you're more or less screwed.

    The only way I know of exporting the cert is to actually boot off the old drive, not sure if you can do this. You need to run certmgr.msc and click on Personal and then Certificates. The cert is listed in the right pane, right-click it and choose Export.

    ok I wasnt sure if you understood that and I didnt want to unnecessarily confuse you


    however there are absolutely *NO* free options if you did not back up your encryption keys

    you could try looking for a software solution http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html

    but that will cost

    so as I understand you have not deleted anything from the old HD but you just cant boot from it

    first thing I would do is image the old HD and store that backup image on you 2nd newer HD
    then follow these instructions
    http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/efsrecovery/

    this seems where you might start from
    "recovery with the orginal profile not in the file system"

    yes its a bit long winded but hey your feckered anyhow :P

    Your best bet is to try to recover the system and boot from the original hard drive.

    If possible take a backup of it first.

    Then pop it in the machine, try to boot and post any error messages.

    If it restarts automatically and just goes into a loop rebooting you will need to keep tapping F8 and Disable Automatic restarts
