Why does Windows even have that option anymore? It barely made sense back in the days of 10GB hard drives, but why would anyone need to do that today? A legacy "feature" that should be hidden deep in the bowels of the system!

DO NOT compress your C drive. I did this a few years ago when running WinXP and the resulted in having to do a fresh install because system would not boot up!

You have been warned!
