How will i come to know whether the drive is compressed or not ??

When you look at the properties of the drive, there is a checkbox for compressing the data.
If this checkbox is checked, the drive is compressed... if not, then there may be some folders on the drive compressed, but not the drive itself.
Also, by default (I think) the compressed files' names should be a different colour (blue, usually), so if the file-names are black, then they are probably not compressed.
However, if the check-box is not checked then you can be pretty sure that the drive isnot compressed! :)
Hope this helps...
