Compressed HD can be format by one of two pre actions:
1. decompressing + format.
2. partitioning with fdisk + format.
in your situation (ye can't compress) try
1. fdisk
2. format
3. win + compression.
everything will work OK

: I believe that I tried to format a compressed drive. I did not realize that I had to decompress the drive before formatting. Is there any way to recover?
