No. Hard disk compression is not supported in the tools included with Windows ME.

Yes... I looked at them before answering.

Both of them have to do with mounting a secondary compressed drive after installing ME to a primary drive that is not compressed.

ME itself does not support compressing a hard drive.

Not sure if there is a third party utility out there that will, but with the modifications to DOS, my guess is... no.
