awandest Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, How can one be able to compress a hard disk using NTFS format without affecting data stored in a given partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 XP? Right click the disk, properties, check 'Compress drive to save disk space' :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Question: Can Linux, by default, read NTFS compressed data? This is important because allot of single machine recovery is done by simply mounting the disk in Linux and reading it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Don't know but I think you now have a project for the weekend. I would guess it probally would asuming Windows / NTFS uses some sort of standard compression algorithm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
