    Take the HDD out, plug it into your desktop and boot your machine.
    Click on "my computer", then right click the drive and select properties, uncheck the box that says "compress this drive to save disk space."
    Switch off your machine, put the HDD back where it belongs and Bobs ur auntie....

    and how does he 'plug it into his Desktop'? :)

    It's a reasonable question. I know it's a netbook but that doesn't mean the drive is not removable. Flip the laptop upside down, unscrew the relevant panel and remove the drive?

    Nothing to do with MY imagination, you need to explain your solution to the OP. Remember?

    You would be better off [ Advent Recovery Backup ] looking at techguys if you want to help without removing the HDD / or / as Donnie says give the O/P a walkthrough on HDD removal.

    Hope this helps

    He already has access to a video in post #28 that show how to access the HDD, but I think he should as least try to back up before he gets his screwdriver out. :)

    80Gb SATA HDD.......:whistle:

    It's not difficult, honest....
    It would be even easier if you had a USB 4in1 HDD adapter like I have.......

    Please explain how I am supposed to connect a SATA drive to an IDE machine with no SATA ports, no caddy or anything else for that matter???
