October 24, 200718 yr In the next release of nLite it would be cool if you could select to automatically "Compress drive to save disk space" on the drive you are installing to.
October 24, 200718 yr Ye might save abit of space , but wont install take longer? Edited October 24, 200718 yr by legolash2o
October 24, 200718 yr With the current hardware which people use, compressing the contents of a hard drive is seldomly required. It's not advisory either.

October 24, 200718 yr Author I always compress my drives and haven't noticed any performance decrease, in fact I read somewhere that it may make performance better. Also, it does dramatically decrease the size of files. My hard drives all have about 3 times the amount of data stored on them due to the compression.
October 24, 200718 yr may i ask how big is your Windows partition is? just curious Edited October 24, 200718 yr by legolash2o
October 24, 200718 yr Author About 160GB. I'm buying a new computer soon though and I'm getting two 750GB HDDs so I may not need compression, haha.
October 24, 200718 yr lol i didnt mean the size of the HDD i meant to the partition of windows is installed on... if 160GB then WOW, why that much just for windows... you install alot of stuff? Yep with two 750GB HDDs you wont need compression lol.
October 24, 200718 yr Yep with two 750GB HDDs you wont need compression lol.Well, if you think you have too much space, install Vista
October 24, 200718 yr Well, if you think you have too much space, install Vistayes maybe... but that also depends on Surreal Killa's other hardware i.e. RAM, CPU, GPU, etc... Edited October 24, 200718 yr by legolash2o
October 24, 200718 yr Author My new computer will be able to handle vista no problem. My current one just manages (flip effects, etc are disabled). But I don't want Vista, I had some troubles with compatibility with certain games and programs, plus out of all of my hardware the modem wasn't compatible with Vista, and there's no updated firmware for it so looks like I'm sticking with XP for a while, or perhaps dual-booting.
October 24, 200718 yr I'm sticking with XP for a while, or perhaps dual-booting.Vista comes with a new boot loader...Use VistaBootPRO if you do so (useful to customize the boot loader)
