hi,
I recently used the recovery partition to reintsall
drivers and applications. the end result was that i tried
to restart and the it kept on saying the that ntldr is
compressed and i should restart. it keeps on saying this
all the time. does anyone have a way of uncompressing or
dealing with this problem

all responds will be greatly appreciated.
 
If you have a HP PC:

Run the Recovery (F10) Advanced Options, ALT D to Command Prompt.
Type the following .. (press Enter afer each line):

C:
ATTRIB -S -R D:\NTLDR
c:\windows\system32\compact /u d:\ntldr
ATTRIB +S +R D:\NTLDR

Restart your PC

When back in Windows .. go to My Computer .. right-click the C: drive .. Properties ..
and remove checkmark from "Compress Drive to save disk space: .. and Apply
(to stop happening next time you recover)
