u mean 2 compress your hard drive
if u do dont do this
right click your hard drive - properties - compress hdd
because it compresses ur bootmgr the boot manger that kinda starts ur computer
but if u want its safe to compress windows, users, program files
@logicearth i will use it on my PC's drives
Do not use it on OS files. For user files it is possible, but the compression and uncompression will use time and resources. At the end I do not think it is worth it. At $70 for a 1TB drive, you are better off to buy big drives.
Some programs use compression automatically - e.g. imaging programs.
thats also right
