Problem

Procedure

RAMDRIVE doesn't function

Make sure your CONFIG.SYS file is in the root

 

directory of drive C and that it contains this line:

 

device= path \ramdrive.sys

 

options

 

where path lists the directory that contains

 

RAMDRIVE.SYS (for example, C:\DOS) and

 

options include the size of the RAMDRIVE and the

 

memory (conventional, extended or expanded) for the

 

drive.

 

Make sure there is enough memory for a

 

RAMDRIVE. If your RAMDRIVE is in conventional

 

memory, load all the resident memory programs you

 

plan to use, then execute the MS-DOS CHKDSK

 

command. CHKDSK displays the total memory

 

available and total memory used.

 

If your RAMDRIVE is in expanded memory, are you

 

running another application that uses expanded

 

memory? Did you select enough expanded memory

 

(EMS) to handle your RAMDRIVE?

 

Confirm that your CONFIG.SYS file contains these
