I wanted to upgrade my laptop from Vista Basic to Vista home Premium so my brother uploaded it my laptop. He got it working for a minute but then there was an error on a black screen that said " BOOTMGR is compressed" and Ctrl +alt+ delete to restart--- every time I try it, it turns off and goes back to that same message.
From what I've read, I'm guessing I over stored memory on my laptop-- it said "2038 MB capacity"-- which I originally thought was plenty, but I had 2048 MB on my laptop.
I don't want to lose any of my personal documents but I do want to keep Vista. Do I have to go back to Vista Basic? I got my Dell through the mail and it came with the original OS already installed on it.
I would also like to know the different kind of memory storage systems in my laptop just for my understanding.
Please let me know what I should do to get my laptop working again as concise and plainly as possible; I need my laptop for school.
Also is it possible to just buy an extra GB of memory and add it to my laptop to solve the problem, or is it too late?
I have a 2GB Dell Vostro 1400. Let me know if you need anymore information.
