Replying to the message convert to ntfs and compress all the folders, I recommend 
not compressing the program folder or windows folder or document and settings folder. 
i compressed these folders and tried to install a program and gave me all kinds of 
errors. but i redid my computer because even after uncompressing those folders the 
program still refused to install right with errors. I redone my computer and let 
those folders uncompressed and the program installed without the hassle. I agree 
though compressing folders do help save space but be nice if microsoft told you what 
folders not to compress so windows would operate normal. also i should mention never 
compress boot.ini  in the root directory of c. i did and my computer would not boot 
up.
