Since I only have a 80GB HDD to deal with right now, space is at a premium. To overcome this I compressed folders which have my game ISO's, MP3's, Photos, and the Temp folders for emule and bit torrent. The problem is that it's not really compressing them that much. My only guess is that (at least in the case of MP3's), is that since MP3's are already compressed, NTFS compression can't really do much with them. I suppose this also applies to the folders with all my ISO's in it too. Am I right about this or what? I've tried uncompressing them and recompressing them again but the results are the same. I even tried to put them in a RAR file with the best possible compression and the results were minimal. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Of course a simple solution would be to just get another drive but I'm low on cash and don't have a CD or DVD burner right now because mine took a dump on me.
Here's a few screens so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about:
