Bootmgr Compressed
I'm new to these forums and I think this thread is in the correct category, if not please direct me to the appropriate category.
Okay so regrettably I compressed both partitions of my HDD (Including Recovery) only to be extremely shocked by the message "Bootmgr is compressed, press CTR + ALT + DEL to restart" I have never come across this issue before so I decided to do some research, I believe in order to resolve this problem I needed to decompress the HDD however I do not have the Windows 7 installation disk nor the iso files for it + for some strange reason I was unable to download it. I have tried several Windows 7 repair disks, booting from both DVD and USB with no success, the screen simply goes blank with what appears to be a flashing underscore, after several minutes of reading the disk/USB it will revert to the previous "Bootmgr is compressed" message (Note: I am using Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium and had the appropriate recovery disks). While this is all happening no other options/messages appear.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
