Donald,

Your coworker not only shot herself in the foot, she may have blown her
entire leg off.

You will need a DOS boot disk which includes the drivespace drivers.  I'm
not sure, but you may need to create this disk on a system which has a
functioning compressed drive.

This boot disk *should* allow you to access the compressed volume.  The
first thing you should do is copy out all the valuable DATA.  Once you
have secured the data, then you can __try__ to restore the required files
to the host volume (but I really doubt you will be successful).
