TFGHT is compressed

[zeke53in]

Hello this might have come up before but I already tried this method:

Insert the installation DVD in your system and start the pc above.
Click Repair your computer.
Then click on Load Driver.
Go to Computer.
Right click on the partition your installation previously compressed> Properties.
Then uncheck "Compress drive to increase space available".
Then close all windows to restart the computer.


It was already unchecked. So now have no idea where to go next. Can anyone help?

BTW i had XP installed on one partition and I installed Win7 on another. The other partition was running Vista before i did a clean Win 7 install over it and then the problem started

Make sure you have the latest BIOS version update. If so, reset your CMOS: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm

Is this a new install failing to start?

Did you delete or format the Vista partition before installing Win7 from booted DVD?

Where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? How do you plan to activate it?

Try booting the Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, accept any offered repair. If it doesn't start, boot back in to run Startup Repair repeatedly. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105541-startup-repair-run-3-separate-times.html

If this fails, use DVD/Repair CD command line to mark Win7 partition active, then run Repairs again: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/71432-partition-mark-active.html

Try a partition-specific wipe of Vista partition using free Partition Wizard bootable CD before reinstalling Win7.
