Windows 2000 Professional and a RAM disk...

[CBozeman]

Specifically, is it possible to create a RAM disk in Windows 2000 Professional, and if so, how do I set things like the drive letter, the size of the RAM disk, and so forth.

I have 352 MB of RAM [(2) 128 MB chips, (1) 64, and (1) 32, for those curious] and I'd like to take about 32 to 64 MB of that memory and create a RAM disk to put a file or two in when working in certain programs. Its my understanding that a RAM disk functions the same as a hard disk drive in Windows 2000 would (for the most part). If I'm not quite accurate, please feel free to exactly explain to me what a RAM disk is, and why and how someone would create one.

Thanks in advance.

There was a post earlier with a link to a ramdisk driver for Win2k, complete with instructions. If I find it I'll edit this post and include the link.

EDIT: Found it! Take a look at this article at the MS knowledge base.

Im not sure if Microsoft has changed ramdisk at all, but in the past the largest ramdisk you could make was 16Mb

Something to look into...
