Hi

I have just inserted more RAM in my system (WinXP Pro, 1.5GB RAM, 80GB HDD (NTFS), Nvidia GEForce4 MX 440) and I would like to create a RAMDISK so that I can run several programs on it. I want the RAMDISK to be created every time I start my PC.

I have seen one answer which involves using the Add New Hardware wizard, and which uses Microsoft's ramdrive.inf. Is this the only way of doing this, and are there any restrictions on the size of the virtual drive?

I do not want to buy any software to do this.

Any help will be gratefully recieved.
