Try putting connecting the HDD to a PC (using sata to IDE adapter if needed). You should be able to put the CD into the PC and use the expand tool to put the files back on the HDD.

Don't know for sure though, because I've never done it that way before.

Alternatively, make an image of the CD using something like Magic ISO and then use a tool to "burn" it to a USB stick. Boot the laptop from the stick and install normally
