Bootmgr is compressed... :(

This is for sure that its an old issue and has been quite used and
abused on this and different forums. I tried to boot my laptop from the
Windows Vista DVD but it just wouldn't boot. Its booting all fine from
my desktop but not from my laptop. All i am getting is the bootmgr
error. Its not even letting me into the BIOS. When I try to press any
function keys, i get error beeps.

For the hell of it, I tried to boot from the Windows XP bootable as
well and even from Linux Fedora bootable...

Did anyone get anything like this. If yeah and you were able to solve
the whole thing out, please be kind enough to share the solution. Thank
you so much!

might try to initiate
the fixboot and fixmbr
commands via the
recovery console with
that bootable win cd
you have.

Hello Arahman,

You might see if you are able to use the created recovery disc in the
NOTE under step one in the tutorial below, and then see if the rest of
the tutorial can help fix your issue for you.

So my laptop did not boot from the CD/DVD ROM... Had to take the hard
disk out, connect it to a IDE to USB converter wire and decompress my C
drive from my desktop...

It works now
