Need Help Fast... compressed drive will not uncompress totally...

I have a customer that compressed a drive then un compressed it.... Now some of his programs will not start...
I've tried the compact /u /s /i command o the c-drive but there are still alot of files compressed on the drive....
How can I un compress all files on the drive....
I am thinking that I could pull the drive and put it in another computer and use the compact command on the slave.... but will this cause other issues...

Also when I ran the compact command it did not go through the c:\program files directories.... this seems to be th bigest issue.... I have tried compact /u /s /i from the c:\program files \*.* directory but it had no effect....

NEED HELP FAST...
Thanks
