Checklist

  • I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
  • I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
  • I clicked the 'Log' button or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, and copy/pasted the log into the line that says <FULL LOG> below.
  • The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: x.y.z - I have NOT removed any part of it.

Additionally (if applicable):

  • I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
  • I also tried one or more of the following:
    • Using a different USB drive.
    • Plugging the USB into a different port.
    • Running Rufus on a different computer.
  • If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

Issue description

(I know using NTFS compression isn't officially supported, but it works great and this is an easy one, I already know the fix and it's simple.)
Hello! When the NTFS compression cheat key is enabled, if Rufus is putting a file called "BOOTMGR" in the root of a partition, could that one file be not compressed, please? Otherwise, you get a "BOOTMGR is compressed / Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart" message on boot. (Everything else works great once that file is uncompressed.) Thank you! :-)

Log

(N/A: No log because problem and solution are very obvious.)
