If you have Win95b or Win 98 you would be better off converting to FAT32
than using drive space. You cannot use drive space on a FAT32 drive. I
used Drivespace3 on my laptop's 850MB hard drive for a couple of years and
never had a problem with it. It wasn't the fastest computer in the world
but I really didn't notice any slow down. One way to use it is to compress
just part of the drive. I left windows in the uncompressed volume and put
data and files in the compressed part. It allowed me to get almost 1.5 GB
on a 850 MB drive
