Moving Compressed Hard Drive
I have a system with Win 95 OSR2, one hard drive using Fat32, and no compression. I have another older hard drive that I have moved to the OSR2 system. The older hard drive was the first hard drive in a system. It has Win 95 (not OSR2) but was using file compression. What can I do to access files in the compressed volume of the old hard drive. I want to copy them to the Fat32 drive before reforming the old drive. i.e. What can I do to enable the OSR2 system to recognize the files in the compressed volume. I do not want to use compression on either hard drive when I am finished.

once you have the drives installed and can boot to the one you want to keep use drivespace or what ever compression program to mount the compressed drive.
once it it's mounted you can access it and copy or move files from explore.
then uncompress and reformat the drive with you compression progam.
if that is helpful great if not let me know.
good luck
