Compressed Drive, Parallels no longer works

Greetings,

I was notified by the Parallels software (after clearing out a lot of nonsense in my XP virtual machine) if I wanted to compress the 'hard drive' or whatever for XP, of course I said yes.

I was prompted to restart my virtual machine, so I did so. Now Windows XP will not boot, I continue to get the:

"Trying to Boot from Primary Master IDE drive..."

and nothing, nothing at all. Please help, I have important files in there and I can't seem to figure it out (after spending hours here in the forums, but everyone seems to be having this issue with a 'partitioned' mac HDD ...I could not get boot camp to work (partition would fail) which is the entire reason I bought parallels.

Please Please help, I need to get this windows running this week.
Thank you,
