The main reason I am publishing this post is that I have spent some quality time to resolve this issue , one of my client called me and told that his laptop is not working and he is getting a screen saying “BOOTMGR is Compressed , press Ctrl + Alt + Del” . Well after doing a little bit of research I found out the solution which I would like to share with you all.
Well rather than explaining a lot. I would like to make it easy for you and tell you how to fix this issue.
Before proceeding further you need:
A bootable media (DVD) of Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
Fix:
- Insert the Bootable DVD to drive and start the pc.
- Select boot from CD/DVD.(Note : if you are not able to boot from CD you will have to go into your BIOS and set first boot device as CD/DVD)
- You will see loading of files and after that operating system installation screen.
- Select “Repair your computer” from the menu. (located down left side, see the below image)
- Now you will get a screen where you need to select “Load Drivers”, which will display you current system files.
- Now select “My Computer” and then right on the drive (mostly C drive) where you have your Operating system installed and select “properties”.
- Below the properties window you find “Compress this drive to save disk space” ,you will have to uncheck the check box, and click OK to confirm.
- Restart the system, you will find the issue resolved.
Well there may be other reasons also which may cause the issue, which I will discuss later.
Note: This fix can be applied for both Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Hope this help you in fixing this messy issue, which took around 1 hour for me. Do comment and do subscribe our newsletter below to get more such interesting stuffs.
