Could someone walk me through the description below step by step so that I can use the ramdisk? thanks Installing the Ramdisk sample driver in a NTFS only machine might make it unusable. To resolve this problem make the following change:
While you call the IoCreateDevice function (RamdiskAddDevice function in pnp.c), change the device type from FILE_DEVICE_VIRTUAL_DISK to FILE_DEVICE_DISK and recompile the driver. After you install the driver, restart the system in order to access the Ramdisk through Explorer

Yeah, I'd try either of the two utilities mentioned in the xp post...If you still want to do it the way this is talking about, then send one of us the code and we'll do it for you...It would be a lot easier than trying to walk you through it.
I assume the code is in C or C++...I don't have a compiler on this machine but I can probably do it at school. Again, if you have the .c or .cpp file, send it my way and I think even my sad C skills can manage to change a function call and recompile.
