My understanding is that your H: drive is the compressed portion of your C:
drive. I know for certain there are certain applications that specifically
state not to load onto a compressed drive (Adobe Photoshop, for one). I
was advised by Micron tech support where I got my computer from that they
don't generally recommend compressing drives because it causes a lot of
hassles, mainly slowing down your response on anything that is stored on
the compressed portion because it has to decompress before it can read.

Compressing
A year ago I compressed my hard drive, and since I have recompressed it
several times.
First question, when I am installing a program, can I install a program on
drive H?
Second question, when I compress my hard drive, where do the free spaces
go?
>>
To answer your 1st question, you can install anywhere on your hard drive.
If
windows knows you have a H-drive and you have access to write to the
H-drive
their shouldn't be any problems.
