I just registered to thank you. I had had this problem before, I didn't remember how to fix it. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't play my Oblivion game. Cool name too, by the way.

Boot from the Vista DVD.
Click 'Repair my Computer'
At the prompt to select your OS installation, click the button that says 'Load Drivers'. This should bring up a explorer-style drive browser.

Then just right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect 'Compress this Drive', which should still be ticked on. Hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.

Reboot.

Fixed it for me in a hurry, hope this helps someone else.

Hello here, i registered just to say this solves it all.
start up your system, boot from VIsta or Win 7 CD, go to repair computer, click on COmmand prompt then enter this command:

bootrec /fixboot

Then press enter,st then restart your system
that solves it all.
,,also works for window 7, Actually i did this on a system with Win7.

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 Pro. If I could get the computer to boot from the DVD, I'd be okay, but I can't even get that. Every time I try I get:

Verifying DMI pool data ...........
Boot from CD:

BOOTMGR is compressed
press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.

It won't recognize there's a disk in the drive. I've tried hitting keys, NOT hitting keys, changing the BIOS boot sequence, and always the same result.

How do I get this machine to recognize the d*** disk?!?
