OK so you heeded my warning. Good. You have to install Disk Compression if you didn't already do so. Before running DriveSpace, de-fragment the hard drive you're placing the compressed volume on. This will maximize the space the compressed volume can take. Then, bring up properties of the target hard drive. In the Compression tab, select the option to create a new compressed volume. This will run DriveSpace, create the new .CVF file, and tell you to re-boot your computer. Much quicker. If you plan to use DriveSpace this way, you should do so right after you complete your Win95 installation, and create a compressed volume with all the remaining space. This will maximize the drive space that gets compressed, and keep your Win95 installation uncompressed, ready to re-install if necessary. Maybe leave about 100 MB uncompressed for the Program Files folder, which always goes on your booting drive.
