To create a RAM drive, you'll need to edit your config.sys file. You also have to have ramdrive.sys, which resides in the c:\Windows\command or c:\Windows\command\ebd\ directory. You add a device command for ramdrive.sys to your config.sys file like so:


device=[drive:][path]RamDrive.sys[DiskSize SectorSize NumEntries] [/e][/a]


[drive][path] -- where ramdrive.sys resides

DiskSize -- the size of your RAM drive in kilobytes

SectorSize -- the size of the disk sector. You need to specify disk size before you can include sector size

NumEntries -- specifies the number of files and directories within the root directory


Switches

/e -- creates the RAM disk within extended memory, not conventional or expanded

/a -- creates the RAM disk within expanded memory, not conventional or extended


Here are a few examples of how you use it:


device=ramdrive.sys /e

device=c:\dos\ramdrive.sys 4096 /a

device=d:\devices\ramdrive.sys 1024 512 1024 /e

-edit- didnt read all of it, may be for win9x, or xp
