Solved "Bootmgr is compressed" - problem

[Lockex]

Hi! Yesterday i tried or let's say accidentally compressed my drive C and i stopped it like 5 % then turned off my pc coz going to sleep...

At morning I turned on my pc bom.,.. Bootmr is compressed... i get my laptop search this problem.... i read 100's of threads on google and i need to boot up from my installation disc..

I configured the bios settings and make cd-rom to be the first priority...restarted then my dvd starts to turn fast and " press any key to boot cd" did not come up.... i tried this over 50 times.... "Bootmgr is compressed" is still coming up...

I am really stacked there... i loaded my dvd to my laptop and there is no problem...

do you have a backup to restore from? if not do you have a win 7 dvd to do a repair install?

Is there anything on the drive that you really need?

Sure do you know how to do a restore? what are you restoring from?

 

[Lockex]

what i meant is to boot up my win7 dvd but when i insert my win7 dvd the " press any keyto boot from cd" does not comes up... so im stacked at 'bootmgr is compressed"

this problem does not reach to widows logo..

Do you have booting frrom dvd enabled in bios? to boot from bios you hit a key (usually F2) when booting. go into bios and make sure that the dvd is bootable.

Then if the dvd is bootable when you re-boot it should give you the correct screen

hope this helps

yeah, it actually reads the dvd when u press f2 but "Bootmgr is compressed" still comes out... The "press any key to boot from cd" must be the one out..

Thanks though...

what does the screen say when you hit F2 ? You installed from this dvd so the boot manager cant be loaded from there I suspect you are still booting from the c: drive

Did you manage to get into bios to look at the settings?

 

[Lockex]

yes i did manage the bios 1st drive is cd-rom...

try transfering the windows 7 installation to a usb drive, and boot from usb

you always have the option for new installation

This is why you DO NOT compress the system drive. Not only does it cause problems like this, but it also will reduce performance if you compress system files or files accessed often.

Sorry I missed this the first time around tho it has been answered since then.

Boot critical files are compressed. In order to fix this, boot the Windows 7 Repair CD or install DVD, select "Repair My Computer," on System Recovery Options click "Load Drivers," then OK Now when the mini-explorer opens up, click on Computer, then rightclick on Windows 7 drive, choose Properties, untick the box for compressing files on the drive. Click Apply, back out of the Repair console, Windows 7 should start on Reboot.

I had the same problem W7 didn't say anything baout this ! well Lucky me I have Hiren's boot CD but Windows should have some way of fixing this even without installation DVD is just a compression not some architecture problem I think is simple.
So I had to get non microsoft help to fix a microsoft error.

BootMGR is Compressed.
If the above doesn't solve the problem then boot into Repair,
but after selecting the Windows 7-installation, press "Load Drivers" (Instead of "Next")
and use the mini Windows Explorer to right-click the boot-drive, select Properties,
deselect "Compress this Drive" and choose Apply to sub-folders and files.

Assuming that you have set the correct device boot option in bios:

When booting, the option to enter 'BIOS' or 'Setup' should appear. Does a 'Press F12 (or other F key) to Enter Boot Menu' or similar option appear? If so, press that F-key and a menu should appear, allowing you to choose the boot device.

Not a very good idea to have your OS drive compressed.

+1. And these days, with cavernous HDs and low prices, no point to it.
