To enable compression on a partition....

Right click on that partition's icon from my computer.
In General Tab, check the box "Compress this Drive to save Disk Space".
(It's below graphical representation of partitions used / free space)

Bizzare thing happened after i compressed my windows XP partition .... Instead of Used space decreasing it actually increased by 1.5GB !!!!:confused: :confused:

Then after a reboot it became 1.5GB lesser than my first Used space value ... Now its compressed ....

i have observed one more thing if you compress a software or a game folder .... The reduction is very large ... But it is not that much for audio vedio files .... It is hardly any compression at all
