Here is a method I picked up from some other thread:

  1. Start your computer from the Windows 7 installation DVD or Repair CD.
  2. Select Repair your computer.
  3. Load driver.
  4. Go to Computer and right click drive where Windows 7 is installed.
  5. Select Properties and uncheck "Compress drive to save disk space".
  6. Close and restart the computer normally.

    Agree with Oberwald, It's the fastest & easiest way to come out from such error. Though the system may ask to run a test by memory diagnostics tool, let it do and proceed with Ur system all Ok (as before) i.e. Starting Windows..
