Are you sure it said "compressed" and not corrupted or missing?

Repair install might help.
Popping the drive in another machine and then-> To resolve this issue, decompress the NTLDR file in the Windows folder. To do so: 1. Right-click the NTLDR file, and then click Properties. 2. Click to clear the Compress contents to save disk space check box, and then click OK. (ntldr is a hidden file located in the root of C: ) |

Thanks for replying, Is there another way rather than putting my drive into another machine? as i have no computer knowledge at all and wouldnt know where to start
 Im not sure if one of my freind would appreciate me messing with their computer lol. I have a recovery cd but it says its sucessfully recovered but it still says the same problem when i restart. |

The "NTLDR is compressed" error can normally be cleared by running the commands CD \, then ATTRIB -C NTLDR from the Windows Recovery Console.
If that doesn't work, below is a link with a possible solution ($29.95). You can demo to see if it will work before buying. http://bootmaster.filerecovery.biz/appnote6.html |

I tried what you said and it did not work it just kept saying-
The command is not recognized. And the other solution you provided the link for, surely there is another way of fixing my problem as i cannot copy the file off that link you provided as im curruntly using the Ubuntu linux live cd which will not allow me to save anything as its a live cd. |
