It looks like you're trying to extract a Microsoft Windows .exe file with the zip utility, this will not work (it's not a zip file) and you will not be able to run this program in Ubuntu without wine or similar (it still may not work with wine).

If you haven't got any important files on that drive, just format it then use truecrypt , which will also allow you to password protect and encrypt your drive with the advantage of being usable on Windows, Mac OS and Linux (Ubuntu).
