Please try not to top post in this ML.

Boot your laptop using a Linux LiveCD.  Mount your hard drive (e.g. 
mount /dev/hda /mnt/hda. Start sshd.  Go to your desktop and run something 
like:

cat archive_file.bz2 | ssh -c blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cd /mnt/hda ; 
tar -xjpvf archive_file.bz2"

WARNING: I haven't tried it out, but you could adjust/adapt it and experiment 
with it.
