Hi. My Advent Notebook would not start. After pressing the start button info appears:
BOOTMGR is compressed
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
After i've done it this same info comes up.
Over and over again...
Please help.

Pop in your installation media for Vista DVD and power ON.
Boot from CD/DVD drive and select 'Repair....'.
Select your OS installation then click the button that says 'Load Drivers'.
Right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect 'Compress this Drive'.
Click APPLY then try to reboot.

Thanks for the advise. Unfortunately I cannot perform any actions on the machine. Do you think that's the only solution? I know, I sound like gnom but in this field I totaly rely on opinions of others

I believe there are other ways too... I am just not familiar with the others.

One way I see (but this may be too dirty) is to format and reinstall... I do not think you would go that way
