I setup an account in windows XP that has administrative priveleges. I also have a second hard drive that is formatted with NTFS. I have more than one user logging into the computer so I only gave rights to the user with admin priveleges to access the second hard drive.

No one can access the drive without admin priveleges (that's good). The account I setup with admin priveleges can't access the account either. He can get further than other users because he can actually see what's on the drive. When he clicks on a file, he gets the error message: error id = 0x80070005 Remedy ID = 0x00000000
The files are encrypted and I've played around with the security on the drive but I still can't get it to work. The files are encrypted and they are mpeg fiels. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If they're encrypted, and he isn't the one who encrypted them (or a
designated recovery agent) then he can't access them .. start, help,
efs, read all about it.

By the way, if you haven't saved your encryption certificates, then if
your user ID that encrypted them gets trashed, YOU won't be able to read
them either. EFS is not a toy .. understand the dangers.
