Writing compressed gzipstream to a file

I have a gzipstream that is compressed and I want to write it to a file. Now the problem is that the Read is not supported on the gzipstream that is compressed. Below is my code where the gzipstream reads the stream from a memorystream and then I want to write it to a filestream.

using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
    using (FileStream file = new FileStream(@"c:\newest.xml.gz", 
        FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
    {
        using (GZipStream gzs = new GZipStream(file, CompressionLevel.Fastest))
        {
            stream.CopyTo(gzs);
        }
    }  
}

Any idea how I can create a filestream from a compressed gzipstream?

EDIT:

That was my bad, sorry to have waste your time. For future reference the code above should work, the problem was somewhere else.

You seem to be reading and writing the same memory stream. I don't think that's possible; you should use two different streams: one from which you read, and another into which you write:

using (gzipStream = new GZipStream(writeStream,CompressionLevel.Fastest))
{
    readStream.CopyTo(gzipStream);
}
