The problem with the final option is that -c is not a supported swith with the attrib command, or am I missing something?

hi these options are not possible if you have compressed the drive, as you need the vista dvd to get to the command prompt to get to recovery console.

I got a easy way for everybody, check this:
go thru the usual steps…
reboot, push open the dvd drive, load OS Vista CD/DVD, before the ridiculed bootmgr compressed shows, shutdown, boot from the dvd, let the installer do it’s job.
when reach choice “install now” choose “repair the pc” instead.
In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.
click Startup Repair.
Just click “load drives”since you know the answer about “repair”….nothing wrong..)=:
see that??, you’re inside your HD!! I assuming that from here everybody knows what to do, if not, that what follow:
Browse for your “C” Drive, right click properties and fellas, reverse what you did, exit, reboot and get a real cold Corona
send me a note, I need some help on Server 2008 config
peace..

Everybody keep saying boot from the Vista DVD and then click repair. 6 times this month, I have lost the bootmgr file and when I try to do a repair, I get the message that no Windows operating system can be found.
I put the disk in another computer and checked the properties and it shows that the entire disk is completely used up, but there are no files that can be read. When I try to see any files, I get the Message that I do not have access to this drive. Now what.
This is ongoing with me. I have had the problem on WD and Seagate and Maxtor drives. Tried them all. No viruses found, etc.
Please help.

Then…… Browse to the C drive. Right click and go to properties then un-check the “compress drive” button. Move the window that pops up so that you can see the apply to c:\ drive or c:\drive and sub folders slect your choice and press apply then reboot. If when your pc comes back up if it comes up with a different error then go boot off of the Vista CD and run a restore to an eairler time. At that point your pc will be uncompressed and you will be able to boot successfully after the restore has completed.
