Cant Decrypt 'encrypted files on previous version of Windows' after a format

Sir
I had my photos[which is present in drive(E:) other than the one having windows installed(C:)] which i had encrypted using built in encryption option in windows8-64bit to prevent data from loss.

Then few days earlier i formatted drive (C:)and upgraded my system to windows 8.1-64bit.
But I got worried when i saw that i m unable to access my all photos and videos that i encypted.It turned green.I could not even move or view them.

Then i installed windows 7 ultimate-64 bit thinking might this would help.But in vain.Presently I m on windows7-64bit os.

I tried to change the owner permissions but i was unable to.It said access denied.Maybe its asking for the owner that was on windows8-64 bit,(earliest one on which i encrypted the files).And now the owner has changed due to change in os and the thumbprint too.

Sir those files are really important for me.what can i do to get them back :confused:
