Bootmgr is compressed
The Windows operating system allows you to compress the files on your drive to conserve disk space.
In some situations, this compression process will compress files required for the operating system to boot.
Files that are compressed must be decompressed prior to execution.
Since the operating system has not loaded, boot files cannot yet be decompressed.
In this case, the operating system will fail to load and a "BootMgr is compressed" message will appear.
An easy way around this problem is to boot from the Windows DVD, and use the provided interface to access your drive properties and decompress it.
Turn on the computer, and insert your Windows DVD.
Press a random key on your keyboard once you see the "Press any key..." message.
This interrupts booting from the hard drive and forces a boot from the Windows DVD.
Click the "Next" button at the bottom of the Windows 7 dialog, and then click the "Repair your Computer" link Below.

Please help me reset my bios password on acer
First you need to remove the laptop battery at the back side. Find some screw there and remove it locate the CMOS battery and jamper.
The BIOS password is
stored in CMOS memory that is maintained while the PC is powered off by
a small battery, which is attached to the motherboard. If you remove
this battery, all CMOS information (including the BIOS password) will
be lost. You will need to re-enter the correct CMOS setup information
to use the machine. The machines owner or user will most likely be
alarmed when it is discovered that the BIOS password has been deleted.
On some motherboards, the battery is soldered to the motherboard,
making it difficult to remove. If this is the case, you have another
alternative. Somewhere on the motherboard you should find a jumper that
will clear the BIOS password. If you have the motherboard
documentation, you will know where that jumper is.
If not, the jumper
may be labeled on the motherboard. If you are not fortunate enough for
either of these to be the case, you may be able to guess which jumper
is the correct jumper. This jumper is usually standing alone near the
battery. If you cannot locate this jumper, you might short both of the
points where the battery connects to the motherboard.
