Need To Mount Compressed ZIP Disk
Jun 9, 2005
I am running Windows XP, Home Edition, to which is connected a 250MB external ZIP drive. My previous system used Windows 98, and, in a moment of madness, I compressed one of the ZIP drive disks. I realize that I need to remount the disk, using the Windows "Drivespace three" program. The only problem is that I don't have the program, and, to my knowledge, it does not exist in or for Windows XP. Is there any way I can obtain a copy of the Drivespace Three program, and, if so, will it run under Windows XP? If not, what version of Windows 95 or 98 has the program? I have access to an older system, belonging to a friend, and might possibly be able to use it to solve the problem.

Windows XP: I did a Disk Cleanup and accidentally chose compress old files. My computer is now slowing down. Is there any way I can find these compressed files and un-compress them permanently?

I have a 120 GB Western Digital IDE Internal Hard Drive that was formatted and used on an old Windows 98 system. I am getting a new computer with Windows XP and I was wondering if I can install this old hard drive as a second drive on the new computer.Will it mount correctly on XP and will I be able to access the data that's on it?

running XP Pro SP2. Have a 2.5" HDD from a Toshiba Laptop (XP Home SP1 / FAT32) that I have in a USB case. The case plugs into the USB port of Desktop computer and hey presto.should be able to access the drive. However Cannot see the drive in Windows Explorer. Have gone into disk manager and the drive is showing but there is no drive letter assigned and no way of doing so. Option is greyed out on right-click over drive. I have tried changing the drive letter of the cd/dvd drive. I have no mapped drives that could complicate matters. Have tried re-scanning drives no joy. Have even tried uninstalling Enhanced USB2 Host. no joy.

I reloaded Windows XP on a Compaq Presario. This was a standard, non-destructive recovery. After re booting, I received the error message NTLDR is compressed Press C tl+Alt+Del.. The fix is to go to a command line and enter attrib -c ntldr . When I do this I get the message that -c is an invalid switch. In looking through other material I do not see where c is a switch for the attrib command, but I can see where it could be used to "turn off compression" in ntldr. What am I missing here.Last year I did something similar, not this specifically, and it worked for a compressed disk problem.

On my profile I entered under experience, "Sometimes smart, Sometimes dumb". This is a "sometimes dumb" question. Exactly what is the purpose of a compressed or zip file? I use a geneology program that automatically compresses data when you save a file so that a large amount of data can be stored on a floppy disk.
I recently sent some information to an individual via email and that person requested that I use snail mail instead because it took forever to download on their dial up connection. Using "properties" I look at the size of the file at it was 2.25 MB. I thought perhaps compressing the data would not take it so long to download so I placed it in a Windows XP Compressed folder and then looked at the size of that folder and it was 2.19 MB. Not much of a reduction and would probably take just as long for that person to download. Am I doing something wrong?

I was looking at this today, when I found out I really am annoyed by WinRAR taking my ZIP files instead of just .RAR files. Where'd my .ZIP folder icon go? And my option to make a new ZIP file?! D:

I have a ISO file which is of 600 MB, but the contents inside it is about 1200 MB. This means that files inside it are in compressed format. How can I create a compressed ISO file in the same way.

I know that I can unzip things with WinXP, but can I create a zipped file? I tried doing this with a large adobe acrobat file, and with a jpeg file, and although it SHOWED a new zip file, when I checked the size of the files, both of them were only five kb smaller than before. That's not much, I'm thinking, lol. What I did, was to right-click on the file and chose "send to" and then chose "compressed (zipped) file."

I have recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional, but I have several old zip disks that were compressed using Drivespace under Windows 98SE. Is there any way I can access these disks to get the stuff off them using XP? When I try accessing the drive I just get a file displayed called READTHIS.TXT which says the following:- "This disk was compressed using Windows 98 DriveSpace. To use this disk, you must first mount it. To mount it:
1. Run DriveSpace in Windows.
2. In the Drives list, click the drive that contains the disk, and then click Mount on the Advanced menu.
To automatically mount all compressed devices, use the Settings command on the Advanced menu. (If this file is located on a drive other than the drive that contains the compressed disk, then the disk is already ounted)." I do not have access to a computer with Windows 98 on it at this time.

Windows XP Search can get slow if you have a lot of compressed files on your hard drive. Speed up your searches by disabling this. Open the Run command and type the following:
regsvr32 c:winnt\system32zipfldr.dll /u or
regsvr32 c:windows\system32zipfldr.dll /u if installed in the windows directory
To turn this feature back on:
regsvr32 c:winnt\system32zipfldr.dll or
regsvr32 c:windows\system32zipfldr.dll if installed in the windows directory

In windows 2000 I am trying to compress a folder. I did this by creating a file and I put some fake files in it and then right clicked the folder, selected tools, folder options, view and selected display compressed files and folders with alternet color. From what I was told the file names and folder name would turn blue. In my case just the file names turned blue. Why didn't the folder name turn blue as well?

I have a pc running win XP pro and when I login as a user I can't compress file. But if I login as an administrator, I am able to select the files, send to a compressed folder. Althought I could easily get a third party compression software such as WinZip, etc. I am curious how to setup the winXP.

I have bought an LG Flatron L192WS monitor (widescreen) for my 4 year old computer which has an NVIDIA Get Force 4 MX Integrated GPU.
I find that photographs are compressed vertically in the display. Is the problem with the video card? The maximum resolution I can get with the present vard is only 1280x1024. Even at that resolution the problem persists. The driver of the card is version 4.1.1.3 dated 12-07-2002.

After uninstalling WinAce i am no longer (As i was before WinAce) able to right click and go New > Compressed Zip or Send to > Compressed Zip. First problem. I need to know the shortcut target for doing this. It might not be a full target as it is part of windows explore like the shortcut for Search is "& Search" I can add stuff to Send To easily. But adding stuff to New is going to be difficult.

Was using a trial version of WinRaR to access a file I required from a download, now all compressed files on my HD have been converted to WinRaR from XPs Compressed(zip)Folder format. Would like to convert back but cant find the program when browsing for it in properties. When I click on the zipped files then go to "open with", the XPs Compressed(zip)Folders option isn't there. Even going to "chose program" I cant find it.

The Kim Kommando web site and Windows XP help both indicate that you can create a "compressed folder" by opening the "C" Drive and then clicking File, New Folder and then selecting "compressed folder". When I do this however, the only option is WinZip which allows you to creat a WinZip file which is an evaluation version. Is a WinZip file comparable to a compressed folder? When would I want to Zip or compress a file?

I have created a folder in February 2009. Inside I have a Compressed (zipped) Folder containing 4 files that can only be opened with a password. Never had any problems until today: When I click on the zipped folder I get the following message: this page has an unspecified potential security risk. Would you like to continue? Of course I click yes and it will open without any problems at all. I also scanned with MacAfee anti virus and it is ok. If I move the all folder with copy/paste to drive D and the problem its gone.
Do you have any ideas?? Maybe happen to you too Yesterday I did tried to move the all DOCUMENTS (from the desktop) to drive D by using the Microsoft facility: right click on the folder-movebut at the end only My Pictures and My Music went on drive D and when I looked on the documents on C was nothing there. At this point I sent everything back (always with Microsoft facility) to the original location and since then I encountered the mentioned problem but all documents are back. And I was told this is so easy to do.
