DriveSpace Alternative?

FreeUS · #1 6th Oct 02, 08:45 PM

I was looking for an utility that do the same that (the old) DriveSpace3.
I browse my really old collection of realtime drive compressors, and I found the old Stacker

.
But I have a problem with DriveSpace and Stacker, both dont support FAT32.
Do anyones know about a program that do that? (real time drive compression)? Or something like bestcrypt but with compression.
Thanks!!

according to:

seagate.com/support/kb/disc/win98_fat32_faq.html#10

this is what I found:

Although included with Win98, DriveSpace 3 and older disc compression software is not compatible with FAT32. The version of DriveSpace included with Win98 will recognize FAT32 partitions, but it cannot compress FAT32 volumes. Additionally, if your drive is already compressed, you may not be able to convert to FAT32. DriveSpace was designed to work with FAT16 file systems and cannot be used with drives using the FAT32 file system. There is no solution at this time.
