• NTLDR is compressed, press ctrl, alt, delete to restart

  After a recent (12/08/11) update of Microsoft, I now get a message that says: NTLDR is compressed, press ctrl, alt, delete to restart.  That only brings back me to the same screen.  I was using Windows XP, SP3, before the crash.  I can't to anything other than this screen.  ANY IDEAS?  Buy a MAC maybe?

  Thanks for the reply. Now all I have to do is to reload all the programs that were previously installed.

  What is "TFGHT is compressed, means when windows startup fails?

  Looks like a variant of NTLDR is compressed.   For example perhaps in the compression of an entire drive even the file that points to NTLDR could get corrupted in a common way and therefore produce this strange message?

• Installation of upgrade or clean! Can I get a replacement product key?

  I bought an upgrade to vista for my pc after that I tried to reformat from the original disc that came with the pc. My pc says that the"NTLDR is compressed" I tried many suggestions but nothing worked I learned that I needed to upgrade. I installed the update from XP to vista, but now it says that my product key is not valid, because it isn't an upgrade a clean install. I was not asked what kind of facility, I held at the beginning of the installation.

  Can anyone help?

  If the system does not detect an operating system (as for a startup problem), he made a clean installation - if an upgrade was possible, he would have given you this option (there not because he has not seen this option).

  You must reiinstall the operating system of origin and then activate, then install the upgrade and then enable that.  That you run under Vista.  You cannot use an upgrade disk to do a full install - it willl allow you to do, but it will not activate the product.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• HP Pavilion 554 x / 500 recovery on D drive?

  Hello

  I am repairing a HP Pavillion 554 x [Label] HP Pavilion 500 on label of the back support, did a scan HP @, they confirm x 554. I was unable to start because of the error message; NTLDR is compressed. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart. I tried every fix I could find that none worked.

  I was able to get the HP recovery on the D drive to work once, once I do not start on the desktop, I got the same error message NTLD such as mentioned above.

  I used my old OEM Win XP Pro to format the C drive & placed the top OS, the computer is now up & running. I kept the D drive, with the HP PC recovery.

  My question is is it possible to use the D drive on this computer HP PC recovery, or should I format & delete the Partition?

  Thanks for any help,

  Jim 937

  Hello Jim937, I can understand not wanting to reinstall Windows, with all drivers and updates of Windows, as you suggest.

  I did it so many times, it just seems like second nature to me. I did 3 times Monday on the same computer. I continued to get problems of driver of the Microsoft drivers I got from Windows updates. I try not to use Microsoft drivers when I can locate elsewhere.

  The CPU fan that you mention is how HP, and some Dell systems are configured in the past. This isn't the preferred method of cooling a CPU because the fan is located just below the power supply, and the air is captured by the contribution of the CPU fan and poured directly on the CPU heatsink. The degree of 50-60 is in the radius of action, although it is a little higher than I prefer.

  This fan has a RPM signal which tells the motherboard if it runs and if this fan does not run or send the signal, the system stops. I've replaced many of them in the past because of these fan failures.

  Although it will take a little more time, I'll try to perform a restore of the partition D: boot recovery upward. If the D: partition is corrupted, you would get the system in place and operate in 10-15 minutes.

  If this does not work, you need to install Windows XP with your Windows XP Pro disk.

  If you choose to go this route, when you get to the point in the installation process, where you are asked where you want to install Windows, I would delete all the partitions that are displayed. This would include the recovery D: partition.

  Then simply create a new partition of maximum size, using the standard and not the quick format format format. This will take more time than the quick format, but since you had trouble with the partitions on the system, it would be better to do it in standard format. This would ensure that all the blocks and the bunches are properly established.

  Then just continue with the installation. Windows XP Pro will identify some of the necessary drivers for your system, but many won't. You can locate those you need before installing Windows, on the HP site for your model number.

  As you suggest, this will take some time, but will result in a stable system.

  I would make sure that the system is clean and free of dust, including the Processor heatsink heat, CPU fan and power supply before beginning installation of the software.

  I use compressed air, making sure not to make fan blades turn in the application of compressed air.  I use air compressed and fitted with a filter of moisture. These fans are not designed for the number of laps that compressed air could lead to turn, and can damage the bearings.

  I wish you good luck and success and I hope this helps.

• Lenovo 3000 C100 laptop computer starts

  Hello

  I tried to rejuvenate my system as a result of what I suspected, it was a virus. I used the rescue and recovery option to relax... but my system unbootable. I cannot go into the app from rescue and recovery by pressing the dedicated button, but every time I turn it on all it says NTLDR is compressed
  No bootable CD in the drive
  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

  And that's it... whenever I restart it is all I have the chance to see.
  I retried my system restore and everything boils down to this impasse. I remember to have a bootable CD of some sort. What should I do to get it working?

  See you soon

  Mylo

  Not much without a bootable CD. Best way is to get a cd of installation of the same version of the OS, as

  your system run and boot from it in repair console. From there, you can set your startup

  files and probably restore your operating system completely.

• NTLDR compressed no boot disk

  NTLDR compressed press ctrl + alt + delete to restart_but loops when you press... .i have no boot disk, the machine is a mark of iquon four years, if anyone can help please!

  How do you think that happened?  Did you compress any file?

  I hope that your system has a CD/DVD drive.

  You can unzip the file ntldr (or remove the compression attribute) you make using a bootable XP Recovery Console CD.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  RC allows commands the base - copy, rename, replace, delete file, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  Place in the C:\ directory and then remove the attribute "compressed" C:\ntldr file as follows:

  At the C:\WINDOWS prompt, enter the following commands:

  CD.

  attrib - c ntldr.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  To "decompress" ntldr just start on the Console recovery and the question of the

  You also can remove the disk and get in another computer and unzip the file via the GUI of Windows Explorer, right-click on the file and select Properties, then click the Advanced button.

• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  Vernon

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

• BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart__But when I do the same message appears and now my netbook won't start.

  I'm not a computer whizz and now I fear I can have made a big mistake when I thought I was doing something safe.

  So here's the story, I wanted to do a little more space on my drive hard because I don't have but a small memory netbook. After the usual cleaning disc and other things, I also saw a tick box option to compress all the files and folders on the c: / drive. I checked this box and everything was fine until I stop and it works even today.

  As soon as the first image - the HP logo disappears (with instructions following key below '= change Boot Device Order' and '= ' configuration Options of the BIOS) I get a black screen with the following script in the upper right:

  "BOOTMGR is compressed"... and below, «press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

  However, when I do restart, nothing chages and I come back to the same message over and over. I think its pretty obvious that my 'sting' autour potentially screwed up things good and clean and I would be very grateful if someone knows how to solve my problem and what to do. I tried to study the question, already and so far, I think I might have to reinstall windows, but when I bought this netbook, windows has been installed for me so I did not drive. I don't even have a hard drive anyway. I also read on the windows troubleshooting pages who put the pressing F8 repeatedly until 'start it again from the last record in the point' etc options but it did not work either... unless I'm doing it wrong.

  I hope I gave enough information above so that someone is able to help. Thank you for your time and I'll look forward all the answers and I hope that the answer.

  This is a popular problem with computers HP they have written an article about this (in other words, what happens often):

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&DocName=c01872275

  Compression is not a bad thing, but in the world where the disk storage is cheap usually not worth - you just buy more storage or maintenance disk Dome (remove things).  Compression can actually slow down the performance of your system too.  I think it's just sort of a vestige of the old days and can have negative consequences today.

  Using the HP article, you can repair your system in seconds after getting into the Recovery Console.

  There is a similar problem with systems not HP where the ntldr file may get compressed and solve it is a little different, but the concept is the same and only takes a few seconds to fix.

  You will not engage in any kind of Mode safe either.

  Enter the Recovery Console may be the biggest challenge.

  You have a genuine XP bootable installation CD?  This is not the same as any type of System Recovery CD which might come with your system.  If you do not, you will need to make a bootable CD from Recovery Console by using a system of work - or physically move your HARD drive to a system that works, repair and put back.

  Your system model number not specified there a CD player?

  Please vote my posts as helpful so I can get a lot of points. I'm saving for a pony! Everybody don't like Raymond.

• Remove key registry Compress old files clears ability to drive cleanup to compress old files?

  Original title: compress old files registry key?

  I have a question.  By removing the key from registry Compress old files, I erase the disk cleaning ability to compress old files?

  These days, when hard drives are faster and space is less expensive than the good old days, it doesn't make too much sense to compress old files more.

  If you leave the option is enabled and that you have 1 million files on your system, your disk cleanup will take a long time or stuck forever and nobody seems to know just what is the definition of an old file (how old is old?).

  And if XP decided to compress critical system (for example, NTLDR) files, you will not start again in any mode until you uncompress the file (how are you going to do if your system will not start?).

  And if XP compresses these old files and unzip them to use them, that will slow you down even more.

  If you have already removed the key as this article suggests, I would leave it like that and your disk cleanup is going to be zoomine.
