Hello!

 

Maybe anybody know how to start ram-disk (imdisk) with delay (on windows startup)?

 

I configure my RAM-disk with RamDiskUI.exe

 

As you use RamDiskUI from the Toolkit, you can delay the startup of the service with the following command, in an elevated command prompt:
sc config ImDiskRD start= delayed-auto
(requires Windows Vista or later, and I don't know whether the delay is configurable)

I have tried and extend a disk using faq 3 ( imdisk -e -s 400M -m R: ) and it says "access is denied", and of course I can't unmount it. Is there an easy way to solve it?

Are you trying this in a command prompt as administrator (with elevated privileges)? That is required in this case. There could be other reasons too, for example this only works when morning image files or ram disks directly, not through proxy services.

[heyricardo]

yes, on local system, in elevated cmd. If that is due to some application writing to the disk, I may be unaware of some open process locking it, just guessing.

[Olof Lagerkvist]

It does not lock the volume for this because that is not needed. It should be possible to do with files open on the volume. There must be something else causing this in this particular case.

Hi there. I just can't figure it out. Could you tell me, please, how to use command options "Save disk image at shutdown and load the specified disk image then when system start again"?

You cannot normally do that with Imdisk, but you can with the Imdisk Toolkit:

His question is not consistent.
If we are speaking of an an image file, its content does not need to be saved at shutdown because each write is done directly to the image file.
If we are speaking of a ramdisk, then it's not a "disk image".

Sorry. Forgive me, I do not know how to formulate the question more accurately. When I use AMD Ramdisk, it saves all data after shutting down the PC to an image file. Then, after restarting the PC, AMD Ramdisk automatically loads the data from this image file back to the virtual disk. There it is implemented by the enable button for the corresponding option. In the ImDisk Toolkit by default, after creating a virtual disk, it is not clear to me how to do the same.
