The restart Ensure that your operating or recovery disc is in the dvd rom, when it promps press any key to boot form cd, do so, wait for the system to run setup when it prompts press... to run ASR (automatic system repair) do so. This shoul sort it out, if not, it might be harware failure. Good luck

Will not boot

Try booting to your Vista installation DVD. Choose Repair. Select the OS
(should be the only one that shows up). It should repair the BOOTMGR.

When I start my computer, it gives the message "bootmgr is compressed" and instructs me to cntl+alt+del. When I do the ctrl+alt+del, it resets to the same place. I have an IBM Thinkpad T42.

Hi Ivanprime200,

You need to boot from the Vista DVD., Click to select '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.
Make sure you hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.

After that, restart your laptop.

This should able to help you, good luck. Please some back here if you still have problem.
