I know windows ramdisk utility can boot upto 512 mb

I often need to restore ghost image
it will increase life of dvd lense also since I do it in 2-3 days

Hi kuttant,

Since your goal is to restore with booting ufd, Maybe life will be easier for you without ghost14 :idea:

After you make your ufd bootable with probably a PE environment, There are lots of free imaging softwares to help you (***check here).
And If you like ghost a lot, try to use ghost11 following risolutore advice**** (Which is common usage by ghost fans)

Besides there is BESR "Recovery and Backup CD" available by symantec which may help you to restore ghost14 images (never tested). This cd may also be bootable with ufd (never tested) too.

I would be interested to know how the above is "phylosophically" different from:

A lot of round things exist, they usually roll when pushed down hill.

and what contribution the above gives to the current thread or to the world knowledge in general, besides having no practical use?
