I did a system restore on my computer then it came up with a black screen that says "NTLDR is comprssed press alt/cont/del to restart" . So i tried that and it just keeps going back to this same screen. I can get to set up by pressing f1 but i don't know anything about all that, i did try setting it to default but it didn't change anything as far as getting PAST the screen i mentioned. Someone told me that now my computer is basically fried. Can anyone help? Thank you!What version of Windows is this?
Why were you doing a system restore?
Can you start windows in safe mode? (Tap F8 repeatedly during startup and select safe mode from the menu that should appear.)You have probably been copying or creating lots of files to the root folder, usually C:\, or creating lots of temporary files there.

This is not a good idea, as Microsoft says:

This problem may occur if the MFT root folder is severely fragmented. If the MFT root folder contains many files, the MFT may BECOME so fragmented that an additional allocation index is created. Because files are mapped alphabetically in the allocation indexes, the NTLDR file may be pushed to the second allocation index. When this occurs, you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.

Typically, files are not written to the root folder. This condition may occur if a program regularly creates and removes temporary files in the root folder, or if many files are copied to the root folder by mistake.
