Uhm, is this the problem with putting maxi images onto the (NTFS-formatted)
Windows system partition and then using Windows compression on them? For a test, I put a maxi image onto an NTFS-formatted partition
other than the Windows system partition, on my work PC at my work place, compressed it and I won back the size of the maxi image (minus the 1 Megabyte size of the Windows-compressed maxi image)
instantly. (See my test results in this thread:
http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=73889 ) I cannot try maxi images on my Windows system partition as it has only half a Gigabyte of free space left...
[Edit] As for the smartass attitude, sorry about that! 1) I thought you were simply fooled by that guide you quoted and didn't check whether or not all steps are necessary and 2) I'm listening to discussions so that I can add
confirmed tricks to the forum FAQ.
