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.

    Had the same issue after compressing my SSD drive... One thing you must make certain of is to make sure you check the boot order in your bios and the cd rom drive is at the top or you know which key to press for your motherboard to get into the boot options menu to startup the repair/recovery cd, other than that, worked perfectly Thanks!!
