Your hard drive has to be formatted NTFS & you have to have
your drive set to be compressed.

Open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop |
Right-click the drive you want to compress | Click Properties |
General tab Select: Compress drive to save disk space
[[Specifies that this NTFS drive be compressed. By default, only files in
the root directory are compressed automatically. To have Windows compress
all folders on this drive, select the Also compress subfolders check box in
the message that appears.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
