    i'm using vista...it was perfectly fine until i updated it...a message appeared that my copy is not genuine...so, i went back to the shop to get it fix...they only installed a rar file that activated the window...so i thought it was fixed. I got home, typed my article...and out of nowhere i decided to compress the drive c where windows was installed...i also defragmented this drive...then i chose to hibernate my computer....and when i started it again, the mesage "bootmgr is compressed, pres ctrl alt del to restart"....so i pressed ctrl alt del, it restarted but the mesage appeared again....i restarted it again but the message still appears...now i cant boot my computer and i badly need to use it...help?

        Google found a solution at :-

        http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-bootmgr-is-missing-error-while-trying-to-boot-windows-vista/

        which includes the sentence
        If you don't have one, you can create a Windows Vista repair disk using our guide.

        which gives a link to
