I tried using the compression tool on windows 98. After the compression went through I tried to reboot, and that's when all my problems started. It will not load the operating system. I went into safe mode and now I see a H drive that I did not have before, also it indicates ( c: compressed). Does anyone have any suggestions?

How did you compress it...with native compression in 98 or 3rd party program?
What it usually does is create another drive (great, I'm low on space so I'll compress the drive and this adds another drive!) to keep things straight and then does the compression.
Such cockamamy schemes also seem to exist on the proprietary
PC's...Compaq and HP...and other half-baked designs.

Berton's point is well-taken...was it a FAT32 partition?

Go to a Win98 computer there and go to Windows help and type drivespace in the index...it'll give you troubleshooting steps...rather than me recreate the Windows help file here....
