In the "General" tab you should see an option in the bottom right-hand corner called "Expand file" or "Extract file" which you will click on.

A window will appear where you will have to type in the name of the file you want to restore/extract, the source is usually the "i386" folder of your Win XP CD-ROM, ie: D:\i386).  The folder you want to save the file to is usually C:\Windows\System32.

If you are unable to get into Windows, you'll have to perform a reinstall of Windows XP.  This is a Repair to currently installed Windows XP.  This will not format so your files should all remain on the drive, however you will have to reinstall all Windows updates.
