My c: drive is compressed. so i can't install windows 95 into it. and i can't even go into windows from dos. is there a way to uncompress the c: drive from dos. I used the drvspace tool to compress it when windows was still running, now when i use it in dos, it says drvspace can only run in windows. but i can't get into windows. how do you uncompress a drive in dos mode? please help!!
