Hp MINI laptop BOOTMGR is Compressed

[kentzav760]

yes my buddy compressed his diskspace so on a HP mini laptop. the laptop doesnt have a cd or dvd drive how is he suppose to reboot from the cd or is there anyway to reboot with out the cd? it also say to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del it doesnt do a thing.

You can attach an optical disk via USB - you'll need to get an external
drive for this, and you can get this for around $70. But the repair
install that you are supposed to do requires an install CD.

So, contact HP support for a repair method - since the system likely didn't
come with an install CD.

so is the laptop a total lost? or we still can save it? so what if i do have an external Drive? how do i get the reboot process working?

Hi, kent the total cost would come around $300. I dont think of speding more than this. I also saw a website hp mini laptop - You can check this out.

Is that the message you get when you try to boot:

bootmgr is compressed

or is there some other message?

If you need to boot on something other than your HDD, the minis I have
seen come with or have instructions on how to make a bootable SD card
or bootable USB device.

The HP WWW page forums have lots of articles on how to do this, but
first you have to know what the problem is and then make a bootable
device that will help you solve the problem.
