Mant Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) "Compress drive to save disk space" checkbox is gone, it just indexing service. So the file folder that i copy-paste into that drive is not auto compress anymore. How to fix without reformating the drive? Is there some registry patch to fix this?Regards Edited February 22, 2007 by Mant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You don't want to compress the drive to save space. Everything you do will require the decompression of many files which will slow your system to a crawl. Clean up your system, uninstall some programs, back up your files to CD/DVD/flash drive/external storage. The only way that option gets removed from the GUI like that is if a DLL file is modified.If you are concerned about HDD space, then get a larger drive. A Seagate 250GB SATA2 8MB NCQ drive is $100 from NCIX.com if you live in Canada. Otherwise, get it from NewEgg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah, don't listen to me. Slow your system down to molasses going uphill in wintertime.I help people avoid and resolve slow performance, not the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
