RAM Drive...............

[khattam_]

Is there some working RAM drive software for Windows XP??
I tried Extra Drive Pro but it always gives an error.........
I also tried the old XMSDSK and EMSDSK which also failed to load.........

Please give out the links to some working RAM drive softwares..........

I'm also interested in this. I assume that by RAM drive you mean a way to use part of the memory as a virtual hard disk, is that right ?

I asked a similar question in a newsgroup last year, but nobody had a clear answer. Sure, some people suggested this and that, and googling for it turns up several results, but none of them seems to work properly.

With Amiga computers, the OS comes with a "Ram Disk" since the first release 20 years ago and it works beautifully. It needs no extra installation or configuration, and works just like a super-fast hard disk.

The Amiga OS also comes with what's called a "RAD" which is a virtual floppy disk. It behaves exactly like a real floppy disk except that the contents are erased when power is turned off (but not with a warm reset). It can be formatted and can be used to boot the computer, etc. And of course, it's super-fast too.

If anyone knows of something like these for a PC that works, I'm very much interested.

If I remember correctly, Tweak-XP supports RAM drives and it did seem to work when I tried it out. But it's been years since I used Tweak-XP so I'm not sure if it's still supported. Anyway do give it a try.
