enable compression
Hello,
I am trying to format a secondary hard drive (my D: drive if that makes a difference). When the format box pops up one of the Format Option boxes is "Enable Compression." What is this and is it recommended?

RE: enable compression
Jason,
What andrew said is absolutely right. The compression option in the format dialog tells xp to format the drive to compress any file created or stored there. The downside to this is that the files need to be decompressed first before they are accessed. So you do get a bit more free space but that is at the expense of your computer's performance. ~~~~ yogi ~~~~ You have the options now choose "Jason" wrote: > Hello, > I am trying to format a secondary hard drive (my D: drive if that makes a > difference).
