Hi All,
While using my netbook the other day i right clicked on the C drive and highlighted compress all files. I shut down the computer and now when i go to start it back up i get a black screen saying "Boot Manager is compressed". As it is a netbook there is no Disk Drive and i do not have a USB Back up made. Is there anything i can do to get it going or will i just bring it to the shop.

Any advice would be appreciated.

YOu will have to boot off a DVD with a utility that will decompress the c:\ and c:\windows folders
