Also had to disable virtual memory, but I had enough left over RAM that it didn't really matter. Now, there are a few tricks you need to know to get Windows to boot out of a RAM disk. First, you need to 'subst' command, which lets you raassign drive letters to other directories. Also, you need to know how to do a soft reboot of Windows. It takes about 2-3 seconds for Windows to do a complete soft restart.

Not so fast boy. I'm afraid such a thing would be possible but severely impractical. There's also the need for a steady data stream when writing. Operating systems are meant to run off a hard drive, which doesn't really care how fast the data arrives in the buffer, as long as it gets there. CD recording software uses strict timing and big buffers in order to maintain a steady flow, often giving high priority to the buffering thread.
