Do you have another computer running Windows 98 so you can uncompress
that drive? Otherwise, you'll have to do something like create a new
primary partition (you may need to use PartitionMagic or similar to
resize the current partitions to create a new primary partition), make
it the *active* primary partition, install Windows 98 to that new
partition, use it to decompress, and then delete that partition and
resize the others to use the now empty disk space, and make your Windows
XP partition the active one in the next reboot.
