Windows Vista Boot Manager Error
Yesterday I have compressed my laptop hard disk usually C: [ C Drive ] it took some hours to compress it. After than, I shut down my laptop. Today, morning I opened my laptop. Suddenly I got the error “Bootmgr is compressed” press ctrl+alt+del to restart computer. I restarted my laptop couple of times. Even though no use. I decided to format my laptop. But in a fraction of seconds, I thought why don’t we Google the problem. Then I searched it in Google as ” Bootmgr is compressed ” . I clicked on first link i.e non-sponsored link.
Forum Help. There I scrolled down and I found my solution. The user called “knarfishness” posted the solution. Here is the solution.
” Heh, I found an easier way to fix this, and registered just to tell you, ><.
Boot from the Vista DVD.
Click ‘Repair my Computer’
At the prompt to select your OS installation, click the button that says ‘Load Drivers’. This should bring up a explorer-style drive browser.
Then just right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect ‘Compress this Drive’, which should still be ticked on. Hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.Reboot.Fixed it for me in a hurry, hope this helps someone else. “
I did same as mentioned above. I got my OS back without any hassle. Thanks to the Forum and Knarfishness. Thanks Google.
