Hi,
I stupidly used NTFS compression on NTLDR (I was suprised it let me do it)
and now the system does not boot. It comes up with a "NTLDR is compressed"
and says to press CRTL-ALT-DEL which just reboots back to the same error.
I booted to the XP installation disk and started the repair console. I did a
dir on c:\ and sure enough NTLDR had a "c" attribute indicating it was
compressed. I then did an ATTRIB -c on the file and checked that the "c"
attrubute was gone, and it was. However I still get the "NTLDR is
compressed" error. I've double checked NTLDRs attributes from the repair
console and it is not compressed.
Anyone got any ideas?
Steve
