I have used compactGUI for my Windows folder inside C: and after restart it prompts me for diagnosing my pc. Proceeding repair does not work.

NEVER EVER mess with Windows C folder! Windows can only safely compress some files in it through compact OS camand. Otherwise unless you have a recovery image you have just bricked your desktop.

That's true, and I also bricked my Windows and had to reinstall as I can't get it to repair itself.

Id like to say you could probably repair windows if you really good at command-line but i wouldn't know where to start even then. Just leave Windows C alone. I remember corrupting my windows XP by ntfs compressing the entire drive.

if youve got a spare usb you can put the windows image on it and then use that to access the recovery menu and do a restore (assuming that it doesnt freak out)
