[18:32] <smile> good night :)
[18:59] <zeref> hurrrmmm
[19:01] <zeref> so a friend of mine decided to compress his harddrive, stopped it half way, rebooted his comp
[19:02] <zeref> now on boot up he get BPTFZ is compressed error
[19:02] <zeref> (windows 7) anybody heard of this, cant find anything on google
[19:03] <Kilos> eish with windows you dont stop anything halfway
[19:04] <Kilos> because it can never find its way back again
[19:04] <Kilos> tell him to do a recovery
[19:05] <Kilos> i dunno if it works same as xp, you boot from cd then go install then get to recovery
[19:08] <zeref> he doesnt have a cd :/
[19:08] <Kilos> eish
[19:08] <Kilos> is there nothing online about doing a recovery without cd
[19:08] <Kilos> oh wait
[19:09] <zeref> whats strang is that, is if google "BPTFZ is compressed "
[19:09] <Kilos> chkdsk
[19:09] <zeref> i dont get any results
[19:09] <Kilos> but does it not boot paste that ?
[19:09] <Kilos> past\
[19:09] <zeref> nope
[19:10] <Kilos> so its stopping halfway in booting
[19:10] <Kilos> whew
[19:10] <Kilos> where is he
[19:10] <Kilos> noone near with a cd?
[19:11] <Kilos> there should be a way to boot to command line
[19:11] <Kilos> then run chkdsk
[19:12] <Kilos> Squirm, see if you can find something about running chkdsk when booting 
[19:13] <Squirm> you'd have to have a bootdisk
[19:13] <Squirm> or take out the hdd and plug it into another pc, then run chkdsk from there
[19:14] <Kilos> doesnt it even get to safemode before booting
[19:14] <zeref> i put an ubuntu cd to see what was on his drive, there is a file called BPTFZ there, i thought about deleting it....
[19:14] <Squirm> zeref: have you tried safe mode? though to me it sounds like nothing would work
[19:14] <Kilos> in safemode you should be able to get to command prompt and do chkdsk
[19:14] <zeref> Squirm: does not even get that far
[19:15] <Squirm> if I think of a half compressed drive, I wouldn't believe any OS would run. 
[19:15] <Kilos> hmm
[19:15] <Squirm> zeref: you're going to have to find windows, a boot cd or slave the hdd in another machine
[19:15] <Kilos> doesnt hitting f8 or 10 or space or something while booting get you to command line
[19:16] <Squirm> Kilos: even if he got there, I still think it wouldn't work. I don't think windows would run off a half compressed drive
[19:16] <zeref> i told him to find a win cd, it's on a lappy
[19:17] <Squirm> if it's a new lappy, it's easy enough to take it out. the sata connections are the same as a desktops
[19:17] <Kilos> eish
[19:17] <zeref>  lappy > 4 yrs
[19:18] <Squirm> hmm
[19:18] <zeref> but Squirm, ever heard of BPTFZ?
[19:18] <Kilos> give him a buntu cd and tell him install
[19:18] <Squirm> zeref: nope
[19:19] <zeref> lol
[19:20] <Kilos> with ubuntu alongside you can move all the important data off
[19:20] <zeref> ummm, he doesnt want to fiddle with computers
[19:21] <zeref> sooo buntu might not be the best option
[19:21] <Squirm> zeref: I know you probably have checked. but are you sure it's BPTFZ?
[19:21] <Squirm> cause like you said. I can't find anything on it
[19:21] <zeref> yeap, checked 3 times just to make sure as well
[19:22] <Kilos> then noly way is to slave it by a friend and run chkdsk or get a cd and recover or reinstall
[19:22] <Kilos> or take to pc shop and pay
[19:22] <Kilos> they arent cheap either
[19:23] <Squirm> a windows repair might do the trick
[19:23] <Kilos> with?
[19:23] <Squirm> though I think you need to somehow start the compression from where it left off
[19:23] <Squirm> Kilos: he can't do anything until he finds a cd
[19:24] <Kilos> where is he
[19:24] <zeref> Squirm: when i booted of ubuntu to check the contents of his drive, there was a small file called BPTFZ
[19:24] <zeref> delete it?
[19:24] <Kilos> delete it
[19:24] <Kilos> lol
[19:24] <Squirm> umm
[19:24] <Squirm> backup
[19:25] <zeref> Kilos: same res.
[19:25] <Squirm> so if it makes things worse, you can put it back
[19:25] <Kilos> there must be someone there with a cd
[19:25] <Kilos> them big places with lotsa peeps
[19:25] <zeref> Kilos: he is asking around, said he'll get back to me when he finds one.
[19:25] <Kilos> good
[19:26] <zeref> most peeps have xp cd's :/
[19:26] <Kilos> there is lots online about win7 not booting and how to repair
[19:26] <Squirm> zeref: res net?
[19:26] <Squirm> Kilos: but is there anything on having a half compressed drive?
[19:27] <zeref> Squirm: 
[19:27] <zeref> ?
[19:27] <Kilos> cant member seeing anything like that
[19:27] <Squirm> zeref: download it off res net?
[19:27] <zeref> oh, we dont have that
[19:28] <zeref> asked the res manager if we could create one, said no :/
[19:28] <Kilos> eish peeps are so helpful
[19:29] <Kilos> methinks best moves are repair recovery or install to same drive again once you got a cd
[19:30] <Kilos> normally when you install to same place it keeps whatever extras you had
[19:30] <zeref> yep, i think thats the best option. so will wait....
[19:31] <Kilos> night guys. sleep warm
[19:31] <zeref> ciao Kilos 
[19:31] <Kilos> sorrywe cant help zeref 
[19:31] <Kilos> nag nuvolari lekker aslaap
[19:32] <Squirm> I think you're going to have a problem
[19:32] <zeref> ?
[19:32] <Squirm> I know backing up is a schlep, I probably also wouldn't do it. but I have absolutely no idea how a repair would work out
[19:34] <zeref> hmm, he did say he would do a fresh install, if it came to that, since he does not anything important on the drive
[19:34] <zeref>  *have 
[19:35] <Squirm> if a repair fails, I can't see another way
[19:44] <Squirm> well, good luck. let me know how it turns out, I'm curious
[19:44] <Squirm> gnight
