Answer» hi Christine....
... have you tried RIGHTCLICK C:\ and use "Check for Errors" then to a defrag, then try compressing.... might work for you that way.. Try doing so in safe mode.Press F8 on bootup and run Scandisk, defrag and compress files from there.I have no experience with using the compress OPTION in Windows 98. I do know there are different methods of compression, have you tried each of them?Is this the compressed-volume option (DriveSpace 3.5) in Win98SE? It had the potential to improve efficiency of FAT16 hard drive STORAGE, but didn't HELP much in FAT32.
Don't use it in the boot partition. Compressing a data partition is marginally beneficial, but using it on the Windows folder is universally fatal...
