File extension E2_# description:
DriveSpace (DoubleSpace) is Microsoft's disk compression software. It was included as part of Windows 95, 98, and Me, as well as DOS 6.20 and later. The latest version in Windows 98 and Me was version 3 (DriveSpace3).
Disk compression software compresses data on the fly when the data is to be stored on the hard drive or a floppy, and expands the data as it is read from the drive. The process happens in the background, and is transparent to the user.
With DriveSpace, compressed drives are actually one large hidden file on a host drive. For instance, if you compress the C: drive, you will find a Drive H on your computer afterwards. This drive will appear to have no space on it, since the hidden file (which you will not see, of course) is actually taking up all the space.

MS-DOS (short for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is an operating system commercialized by Microsoft. It was the most commonly used member of the DOS family of operating systems and was the dominant operating system for computers during the 1980s. It was based on the Intel 8086 family of microprocessors, particularly the IBM PC and compatibles. It was gradually replaced on consumer desktop computers by operating systems offering a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular by various generations of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It was originally known as QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) and 86-DOS.
MS-DOS was originally released in 1981 and had eight major versions released before Microsoft stopped development in 2000. It was the key product in Microsoft's growth from a programming languages company to a diverse software development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources. It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI.
