| 589405 | 2007-09-17 09:24:00 | Ouch. Imagine that PC doing a virus scan... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 589406 | 2007-09-17 09:44:00 | Well, after it making some user partition thing of all of the data, it told me to restart. So I did, and I got this "ntldr is compressed" message and that I had to press ctrl + alt + del to restart. It keeps reappearing whenever I restart, any help with this would be muchly appreciated. | gellehar (12720) | ||
| 589407 | 2007-09-17 09:50:00 | Uh-oh. Are you sure it said compressed, and not corrupted? |

| 589408 | 2007-09-17 10:08:00 | Uh-oh. Are you sure it said compressed, and not corrupted? LOL :lol: Sorry but I must be ahead of myself today - NOW download that ntldr reboot floppy from my earlier post and that should boot you into windows. If it does then open start/run and type in scf /scannow If that works let us know as you will need to replace those files. |

| 589409 | 2007-09-17 10:13:00 | if it DOES say that it is compressed, maybe for some reason it's trying to boot from a compressed backup? (HOW or WHY I have no idea) Well this PC is an HP isn't it? :lol: |

| 589410 | 2007-09-17 10:21:00 | Nope, it says compressed. i'd be worried if it said corrupted :P Don't have any spare floppies, might see if I can get some later on. Would it work on CD? or do you have to have a floppy for it? | gellehar (12720) | ||

| 589412 | 2007-09-17 10:36:00 | Bugger, if you posted this before, I could've used System restore, because if you read the alternative steps, it comes up with a command prompt :P Ah well, will look at it tommorow. | gellehar (12720) | ||
| 589413 | 2007-09-17 10:40:00 | Good find agent - 1st ones out - no Recovery CD . Second one may work . -Alternate steps Love the note under Alternate steps - hope the recovery partition doesn't get damaged, which I have seen happen sometimes . Once this is working - a suggestion, copy all your data to a safe place, CD, removable drive etc, as I suggest you then rerun the full recovery and reinstall the drive - start from fresh . Being the Reg was damaged so much, it may only be a matter of time before something else breaks and right back where you started . Nothing worse than an unstable system . |
