Default Compressed drives

My Windows 98SE machine has just failed after years of good service - BIOS
problem I think.
I have removed its hard drive, fitted it into a usb enclosure and connected
it to my XP Pro laptop.
The drive has several partitions on it, most of which are FAT32 or FAT -
these are all readable.
But one partition has been compressed using drvspace and this is, of course,
not readable directly by XP.
Is there any way that I can read it and copy off the data (about 2 GB)? I
no longer have access to a working 98 machine.

TIA
Chris
