My brother just compressed his C drive using the "compress drive to save disk
space" in C drive properties and now he can't reboot his computer . He's
tried to enter last known safe mode, but the computer won't start. Any ideas
about what to do so he can get it rebooted and then decompress the C drive?
Thanks!

tried last known good configuration, and nothing.
