If u want to compress the system drive data (The drive, on which windows is installed) and the installed windows is 2000/XP/2003/Vista, then u can convert it in NTFS and it'll automatically compress data.
And if u want to compress other type data, like setups, songs, wallpapers, etc. then u can use any compression utility, like WinZip, WinRAR, 7-zip (FREE), etc.

--look jatt,there r much more softwares that r available on net,just try through google,there is single soft. ASHMPOO which compresses the video data to the required mb's u will ask it to convert,but more d data will compressed the quality will also b affected to the extent,so try to achieve 60-65% of the original one,again convert the songs in to the wmv file which requires the less memory,it can effictively b done through VEGUS 4.0,again there must b much of the soft. about which i dnt know,but if i got to know then i will definately replay you,bye.....
