Hard disks may fragment when one tries to compact them. It will need to be defragmented afterwards.
Softer disks are more amenable to be compressed into compact disks, floppy ones work best.
Comment on Anyone know why this weird CD won't fit in my CD drive?

What you have there is a hard disk drive. In order to fit it into the CD drive (or Compact Disk drive) you need to first compact it! A hydraulic press is the preferred method.
