Disk Compression Utilities
You can safely use PartitionMagic and some disk compression utilities together. The following information will help you avoid any problems.
DriveSpace and DriveSpace 3
To use PartitionMagic with DriveSpace, you must first change the size of a DriveSpace or DriveSpace 3 drive in Windows 95 or Windows 98.
1. From the Windows desktop, double-click My Computer.
2. Right-click the drive you want to change, then click Properties from the menu.
3. Click the Compression tab.
4. From the Compression menu, click Advanced.
5. From the Advanced Properties menu, click Run DriveSpace.
6. Select the compressed volume you want to change.
7. Click Drive at the top of the menu,.
8. From the Drive menu, click Adjust Free Space.
9. To increase compressed space (enlarge the compressed volume), move the slide bar to the left. To increase uncompressed space (shrink the compressed volume), move the slide bar to the right.

If you want to shrink the host for a compressed drive, move the bar to the right to create more uncompressed space on the host. You can then use PartitionMagic's Resize/Move operation to make the host partition smaller. If you have already used Resize/Move to resize the partition larger and want to add more space to the compressed volume, move the slide bar to the left.
