Hello.
I just compressed my Vista partition using the "Compress drives/folders" option under the hard drive's properties. As it was compressing it gave me a warning saying that some of the boot files couldn't be compresses because they were in use, so I chose the option to skip them.
I should say now that I have both Linux Ubuntu and Vista on my hard drive. So I use Linux's GRUB as my main bootloader. But I also had EasyBCD installed on Vista so whenever I chose to boot into Vista, it would go the the second bootloader menu.
After rebooting my computer I was able to get past the first bootloader and choose Vista, but before I reached the second bootloader (EasyBCD) I would get an error that BOOTMGR can't be read because it is compressed.
Is it possible to uncompress that single file/folder through another source? Or is there a way to read it without uncompressing?
Any help is really appreciated :D!
