    Quick question : Just got my first MacBook yesterday and installed Windows Vista SP1 on the Boot Camp partition. After the drivers had been updated I went ahead and compressed the Windows folder, which is an old habit of mine because I prefer the blue fonts in Explorer as opposed to the black and thought compressing would also provide more space for additional multimedia files. The compression worked as it normally does, with critical system files being ignored, but when I restarted I received an error message "BOOTMGR is compressed Press CTL + ALT + DEL to restart". Is folder compression in the Windows partition created by Boot Camp not supported or did I do something wrong?

    Thanks
