If by accident having compressed the entire boot partition, then Vista will display the following error: BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
This can usually be solved by using Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and perform a "Startup Repair".
If the above doesn't solve the problem then boot into WinRE again, but when selecting the Vista-installation, then press "Load Drivers" (Instead of "Next") and use the mini Windows Explorer to right-click the boot-drive and deselect "Compress this Drive" and choose Apply to sub-folders and files.

If that fails then use WinRE to enter the "Command Prompt" and execute these commands:

compact /u /a c:\*.*
or
•compact /U C:\bootmgr
•compact /U C:\ntldr

Your video is incredible! I had this exact problem!!! So VERY FRUSTRATING...

Thank you! BRITEC-

One Question please: Is this just as effective with Windows 7 OS, I know that it is similar to Win-Vista?

Hi thanks for the vid, I'm having trouble getting past the Ctrl+alt+delete part, when i'm booting from cd-rom. even before when booting from hard drive, and i Ctrl+Alt+Delete, nothing happens it doesnt restart.

I got a boot disk from that place you suggested, but now something else is causing a problem. After getting to the Systems Recovery Option box, Windows Vista is not showing. Nothing is showing at all inside the box. I still hit the "next" button, but can't repair startup. Any idea how to fix it. I have an HP G60-125NR and it came with no Windows Vista disk.
