*UNCHECK* this option: 'Compress this drive to save disk space' and hit 'Apply' button.Right click on the C: Drive and select 'Properties' in the context menu.Instead use that windows to browse to the boot drive, C: (in my case here) A pop up will open to select a driver.Next select your Operating System in the list.Click on 'Repair your computer' in the bottom left corner of the window (DO NOT choose 'Install Now').Boot from a Windows installation DVD (in my case Windows 7).Here are the steps to uncheck the “Compress this drive to save space” option that’s currently applied to the hard disk.
