So I wasn't paying attention and decided to compress the entire C:\ drive on my month-old HP Mini. Unfortunately, the lack of a CD drive makes it so that, despite knowing exactly how to use the XP disc to repair the system and exactly where the disc is, I find myself unable to come up with a solution.

I run a dual-boot system with Ubuntu 9.04, so if anyone knows a way to uncompress the files I need uncompressed from within Ubuntu, that'd be great; otherwise, any other solution (that doesn't involve buying a $50 USB CD drive) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

If you have at least a 1GB Flash Drive lying around and another Windows computer somehwere, you can make a bootable USB Installer.

Look around here:
Install XP from USB

Google "install xp from usb" for more links.

What did you do to compress them?
