i have an emachine w/ windows xp that was dumped. The computer went through the system recovery ok until you have to restart the computer to finish. once you restart the computer it runs through the "press 'r'" and press f11 to start recovery, after that I get the message that...  NTLDR is compressed  press ctrl+alt+del to restart.....
at this point we can't do anything.
anyone have any suggestions??Try--->  Here

Also,Do you have the restore disks ?

If you do a zero fill program may work like-->ActiveKilldisknope no restore disks just the system recovery disk. the computer belongs to my brother in law and the computer is now here at my house, he is only 14. I assume that they used the same recovery disk to DUMP the computer because when I went through the disk it will go through a FIVE step PROCESS including formatting the HARD drive and putting programming back in. So you THINK that the hard drive may have a problem with the hard drive.Does this e-machine have a floppy drive?

no no floppy just cd/dvd romi am trying the bootmaster now
