ntldr is compressed

[John]

i am using an emachine, which only came with a system recovery disc. the
only solution ive found for this is to run command line commands, however i
cannot get into any form of DOS command prompts seeing how my recovery cd
only gives me two options, full destructive reformat or backup reformat. ive
done both of these and still get the same error. any advice?

- What error are you getting, when and where?
- Are you asking for advice on how to use your recovery disk? If so then
you need to read the manual that came with it. Every manufacturer has
his own recovery disk and it is not possible to give any general advice.

Mount the drive in another computer such as a "D:" drive.

Richt-Click on "D:\NTLDR" and choose; Properties --> Advanced.
Uncheck the box for "Compress contents..."

Borrow a retail version of XP then run the command/s. It is rather
painless.
