Bootmgr Is Compressed...

[Patriote]

Hey guys...

Yeah, I'm running Vista X64 and i compressed the HDD I'm running the OS on...

Now, i found how i can fix this but i have to get into the command line... How do i do this?

I have an EVGA 680I A1

This is what i have to type once i get to the command line :

Get to the command line. You could do this by booting up on the Vista DVD.
Now type, at the Command line:
expand bootmgr temp
attrib bootmgr -s -r -h
del bootmgr
ren temp bootmgr
attrib bootmgr -a +s +r +h

Thanks.

and never use windows compreshion
