"ntldr is compressed" error!!!!!

When I boot up im getting an "ntldr is compressed" error that tells me to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del... When I do it just loops me back to where I started.. I researched this issue and lots of people say to boot from the windows xp cd to get to the Recovery Console and type in CD \, then ATTRIB -C NTLDR. I can't get to this step because my computer came with everything pre-installed. I have no CDs to boot from and don't know how to create a boot CD. I don't have a 3 1/2 disc drive either. What should i do??

 

Borrow an WinXP Install CD from a friend or bribe your enemy to lent you one.

 

Good Idea but I honestly cant think of 1 person I know who actualy bought Windows XP. Everyone I know got it pre-installed w/ the computer they bought.. I might know someone that factory restore cd that came with their computer.. Think that'll get me to the Recovery Console?

 

Contact the company that sold you the computer by phone/mail and ask them whether the Recovery CD can be used to access Recovery Console. Maybe mention the name of the company here, and maybe someone can point you in a direction.
