If Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) is installed on or configured
to boot from a compressed drive, the compressed volume may not be mounted
and Windows may not start if the drive is read-only. This may occur with
removable disks such as floppy disks which can be write-protected.

The real-mode DriveSpace driver (Drvspace.bin) does not mount a compressed
volume on a read-only drive.
