RAMDrive taking up half of my hard drive!

Comment:
RAMdrive is taking up half of my 3.2 gig harddrive. It's saying the other 1.5 is on the E drive, but that's the address to my CD ROM, can anyone please help me recover this space on my drive... PLEASE???
that's pretty funny considering RAMdrive is a RAM disk program and only uses RAM exept for the program file on the Harddrive

You are not running Windown ME? You have some confusion in the question. I am guessing you have a 3.2 Gbyte hard drive divided into 2 logical drives C and D. You have a CD-ROM that is usually E. So far so good. If you installed a Ramdrive, it would be drive F: (or drive E if it came before the CD-ROM device line in the config.sys) Having guessed, I now do not understand the question. Your hard drive is C and D. If you have no F drive and have a Ramdrive in the config.sys, you need to add a LASTDRIVE=Z line in the config.sys. Do not put any of your hard drive on your Ramdrive because it disappears (erases itself in effect) each time you turn your computer off. Incidentally, what version of Windows are you using? And what version of DOS?
