Is it possible to create a RAMdisk after booting? If so where can I find information on how to do this? Thanks.

Sure, why not?
If you mean reboot and start with a RAM drive, then you can use a flag file to tell which boot it is (1 or 2) and take the appropriate action. You must be specific.

xmsdsk.exe is RAM drive software that is loaded at a DOS prompt or as a line in the autoexec.bat file (meaning after the bootup is completed). You can select any available drive letter, any amount of free xms memory, and as I mentioned it can be turned on/off at the DOS prompt. No config.sys file entries are used.
