Bootmgr compresses, ctl+alt+delete to restart

I get the above error when I try to restart my computer. I installed an AVG product that compressed a bunch of files.
I have followed the suggestion online as follows
inserted windows disc
ctl alt delete
press the blue button
press f12
selected the top option, 2: atapi cdo: hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-u20n-(s2)
Then it does to bootmgr is compressed error
sometimes it give a press f1 for set up message. I have no idea where to go from there.
Does anyone have any advice? It is entirely likely that I have the wrong windows CD.
I have ltd experience with software, so the more simple the instructions the better.

Hello,
I have been reading up on this error, and found two possible solutions:
Boot the computer from a Windows 7 installation disc, and select the "Startup Computer" from System Recovery Options to automatically fix the compressed files.
Remove the hard disk drive from the ThinkPad and connect it to another computer running Windows 7 as a secondary hard disk drive. It could be connected via a USB to SATA cable, plugged into one of the internal SATA connectors, and so forth—the type of connection does not matter as long as it's not the primary boot drive. Boot the system as you normally would, open My Computer, right-click on the drive, select Properties from the popup context menu, and on the General tab, uncheck the "Compress this drive to save disk space" option. It may take a while to run, especially over a USB connection.
Hopefully, ione of those will get you up and running without having to reformat the hard disk drive.

BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart.

Hello there!
I'm having trouble since i formatted my t61's primary hard drive, after i did that i thought i could recover the operating system simply by using the recovery DVD's but for my surprise when i turned on the laptop to begin the recovery process this message appeared on a black screen BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart... even tho i put the 1rst recovery disc in the DVD drive. After that i tried the 2nd one which is the operating system recovery DVD and still got the same message. What can i do?? I do have an old yet functional thinkpad HDD that came with the computer with vista, R&R and the lenovo preloaded softwares in it, i don't use it anymore because i replaced it with an HD with more GB which now is (was) my primary HD but I don't have the original windows vista DVD just have the 4 recovery DVD's, one thing I'm concerned of is that if i install windows vista again from an original vista DVD then i wont be able to have all the lenovo preloaded software (productivity center, rescue and recovery and all that). PLEASE help! Thank you in advanced.

Welcome to the forums
If you have an original Vista DVD you can try to repair the bootmanager of your laptop.MIcrosoft has 4 resolutions for this try them
Cheers and regards,

Firefox wont start or load but when I press ctl, alt, delete I see it running?

I upgraded Firefox. I worked for one night, the next night When I tried to open it it didnt work. I press ctl alt delete and noticed that it was running in the background but no window... IE and Chrome works fine... I do have internet.
I ran virus scans with no problems what so ever. Ran malwarebites and no issues. I have the windows firefall and disabaled it to see if maybe thats the problem, I also checked to see if Firefox had permission to pass the firewall and those were no issues.
Any Ideas.. please help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

HT201612 how to use ctrl+alt+delete to restart with boot camp

how to use (ctrl+alt+delete) to restart?

You press all the keys (ctrl+alt+delete) at once
Some information
In a personal computer with the Windows operating system, Ctrl-Alt-Delete is the combination of keyboard keys that the computer user can press at the same time to terminate an application task or to reboot the operating system (have it shut down and restart itself). In Windows 95 or any later systems, Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up a window that allows a user to see the status of all currently running programs and to terminate any of them, and also offers the options of shutting down, restarting, and so on (the specific options vary slightly with the particular version of windows). In Windows 95 or 98, if Ctrl-Alt-Delete is pressed a second time or twice in a row quickly, the operating system closes all programs that are running and then restarts.
When the operating system seems to hang suspended while waiting for an application program to continue, a user is also left without a way to regain control of the system. The Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination allows the user to terminate the "hung" application and, if that doesn't work, to reboot the system. The system can also be restarted using the mouse to select Start-->Turn Off the System-->Restart. However, Ctrl-Alt-Delete sometimes works when the menu option doesn't.

HP g7 Laptop - "A Read Disk Error Has Occured - Use Ctrl Alt Delete to restart"

I recently ran into a problem with my HP g7 Laptop. Purchased from Fry's less than 8 months ago.
The issue i ran into is - when turning on the Laptop
1st the monitor did not appear to come on...but it had its just that the montior was not
showing illuminence...
i ran into the DOS message:
"A read disk error has occured
Use ctrl alt delete to restart"
which i did but did not work. I took apart the laptop to examine the hard drive and based on visual review did not appear to be damaged. Though I was shocked to see the hard drive is a SEAGATE product! which i have found to be a NOT RELIABLE hard drive product. I feared the worst knowing i had lost what I had saved and backed up on the C/D drive portion of the Hard Drive. Using a Flashlight to see what appeared on the monitor, I was able to perform the HP Recovery options on the computer but each option ended with the computer replying to the effect the it could not detect or there was no hard drive or c: - anything...which confused me because why was the laptop allowing to performing the recovery options. The last option i tried was to restore laptop to original factory settings. When it completed and I click the button for the system to restart the next error message i received was that "BOOTMRG missing - use ctrl alt delete to restart"
which again did not work.
Can you please bottom line it for me...have i experienced a HD crash and if so how can i know if this is covered under manufacture warrenty? It is upsetting to know that only after 8months of having this product, which i have been very happy with, until now, that the HD experiences a crash. none of the reviews for this product that i have read indicates this problem occuring!
if this is a HD crash, also i am going to have to purchase a new HD correct, if not covered under warrenty?
please help! spending over $600 for the Laptop and it only lasting a little over 8 months is not acceptable!
Sincerely
Frustrated Customer
San Jose, CA

Hi admiral74,
Call in and speak to a customer service rep. That will be the only way to know if it is still covered by warranty.
Good luck!

HDX 16 1370 us notebook/ Windows 7 upgrade/ Boot Manager Missing hit ctrl + alt _ delete to restart

Hard drive was going south. I replaced it with new one. The original OS was Vista but I had upgraded to windows 7 a year ago. I placed the Windows 7 CD into the optical drive and windows begin to load. I got past the point of the screen that ask for language and so forth then my dog jumped on me and pulled the power cord from the computer. I plugged the cord back in and tried to restart the process. Now the first thing that happens is I get the message Bootmgr missing hit ctrl alt delete to restart.
I do not know what to do now.
I can't get into command prompt from shift+ F10, so I am totally lost. Is there any hope??
Thanks

Are you saying that you inserted the Windows 7 upgrade disc to boot to? Was Windows Vista already installed on the hard drive? Have you run the hard drive test in BIOS?

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

Xorg Segfaulting on viewing console (ctl+alt+f1) after nvidia upgrade

I upgraded nvidia and nvidia-utils yesterday to the current nvidia-utils 169.09-2 and nvidia-utils 169.09-1 versions respectively. Pacman complained about the presence of /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1, so I followed the advice here (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-gen … 16508.html) and did a -Sf installation. After that the installation and restart (I upgraded the kernel at the same time), went smoothly.
I run icewm, but boot to the console and start X manually. I tend to drop back into the console (ctl+alt+f1) fairly regularly. The X-server has now begun to catch Sig 11 and segfault (unpredictably), when I go to the console. It has happened three times today - the Xorg log terminates with :
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80baf4e]
1: [0xb7f0f420]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Any ideas please?

I'm posting here the setup of my /usr/lib/xorg/modules so you guys can see if there's a difference from removing the old package on the update or deleting the files by hand.

Couldn't get off of the "foxsave" page. Had to do control alt delete. HELP!

Had just downloaded newest version of Firefox. Came back to screen later, and it was showing "Fox Save" I believe. Is that firefoxes screen saver? I clicked on all the icons below trying to get out of that screen and finally had to press control, alt, delete to get out.,

You probably have a user agent that has been corrupted and that identifies you as Firefox/3.6.18

Firefox doesn't have such a Fox Save screen.

Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)

Vista bootmgr compressed VISTA - need command prompt!

I am at wit's end and even though my 8 year old bought his HP G60 with his own money, I am about to hurl it out the window as I wasn't "consulted" and would not have condoned this unfamiliar to me Vista O/S.
All I wanted to do was reset the computer/system to factory defaults. He is gaming now a few years later with nothing important and seemed the quickest way to clean up the PC. I create recovery disks, a NICE LITTLE PROCESS that took 3 entire days. NO JOKE. I had to place every few hours COLD PACKS under and on it because this thing from day one runs hotter then heck.
So voila, it's done. And reboots. And I hope there is some other bored GEEK reading this because I can't find ONE POST on the entire Al Gore Internet that gets me to a command prompt without using install disks. This HP shipped with no install o/s disks. I created the recovery as a safety net, and it's starting over AGAIN and personally, I don't have 3 more days and hot pack maintenance in me before I just buy a new one. PLEASE HELP. It seems simple enough to get to a command prompt and uncompress something I never even intended to compress nor did in any keystroke of my imagination.
He is losing faith in his mother who he believes created MPLS.... got a network problem, I'm your gal. Word won't load, call IT. Windows XP has an issue, UNIX, learning Win7... but this Vista? grrrrrr. Where's the wine for my WHINE?

I guess I only said it in the subject. boot gets BOOMGR is compressed. Press Control Alt Del to restart. Tried the normal ways to boot and get into some start up, but seems I need a command prompt to uncompress...

Ctrl Alt Delete

Some times the Computer freezes, but I can still use the mouse. I have tried wating for the processor to catch up but that does not seam to be the issue. When the freeze acures The Ctrl-Alt-Delete menue will not appear. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button for an unsafe shutdown. I have ran a virus scan and come up with nothing. What should I do when this problem acures. Could it be a problem with the OS? I am at a total loss. please help.

Try turning off your computer then restarting it with the little One Key button next to the power button. If some windows files are corrupt, they will be fixed by this. You just have to follow the instructions on screen.

I have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want. I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything. How do I unfreeze it? Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday. The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it. It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen. I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store. I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help. Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows. Thanks.

Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots. With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

OSD Exits to Ctl-Alt-Del after Reboot from Software Update, leaves Clients in provisioning mode

We are seeing a problem where the Windows 7 SP1 OSD wrongly exits to the Ctl-Alt-Del screen: This problem is occuring with about %25 of our Newly Imaged PCs during the Software Updates step of the Task Sequence (of which there is about 9
outstanding updates), the PCs are rebooted as 4 of these updates finish with COMPLETE_SOFT_REBOOT_NEEDED.
After the Software Updates Reboot the following errors are found:

I have checked the logs based on other forum suggestions I can say the following:
-Network adapter is getting valid address;
-I do not have a step for "Install Roles and Features";
-I can apply registry changes for each machine to take them out of Provisioning mode, and after that I dont have any problems - this is far from the solution that I hope for.

Any update on this as I am struggling with this issue for the past few days ?
Our image was built last year so when I want to recreate it, it has to do 150 updates. We don't have WSUS updates into SCCM so I had to use a wsf script to get the updates from our WSUS server.
If I image the computer without doing the updates and do them manually by running the script here is what happens :
1st execution of the script : 137 updates installed and a reboot is required
I manually reboot
2nd execution of the script : 13 updates installed and a reboot is required
I manually reboot
3rd execution of the script : 4 updates installed
I manually reboot
4th execution of the script : no updates required.
If I only do 1 execution of the script in my TS : it works fine, it installs the 137 updates but then when the PC is done imaging, it still needs the 13+4 other updates which I don't really like.
At first, I tried adding this in my TS:
WSUS 1/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
WSUS 2/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
WSUS 3/3
System restart (triggered by the TS)
This stops at step #2, I see it do the 137 updates and then when it reboots, it goes into provisioning mode and doesn't continue. Looks like there is an issue with the reboot so...
I have tried removing the reboot as follows
WSUS 1/3
WSUS 2/3
WSUS 3/3
This installs the 137 updates in step #1 and downloads the 13 updates in step 2 and 3 but log file says a reboot is required to install them. The TS then continues but once it meets a System restart triggered by the TS, it doesn't resume the TS and goes
also in provisionning mode.
Any idea on why it goes into provisioning mode after installing the updates ? To me, it looks like there is a probably with the state that WSUS puts the computer in, like it is pending reboot but the System restart by the TS doesn't seem to work when trying
the reboot ?
Thanks!!!!
