RamDisk provides possibility to use some part of computer memory
as a very fast disk. Windows Address Windowing Extensions (AWE)
technology and 64bit addressing is used, so the size of RAM disk
is limited only by Windows and by available physical memory.
RAM disk can be formatted to NTFS filesystem on Windows 2000
and to FAT/FAT32 filesystems on Windows XP.


Installation
============

1. Copy WRAMDISK.SYS device driver to \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory
   (resp. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS on Windows XP)

2. Run CONFIG.EXE and set ramdisk parameters
     - ramdisk size (default 16 MB)
     - ramdisk drive letter (default Z:)
     - enable/disable ramdisk drive

3. Format ramdisk drive to NTFS filesystem (Windows 2000), resp. FAT/FAT32
   filesystem (Windows XP) before using it. This step is necessary
   after each restart of your computer.

   Batch scripts can be used for automatic ramdisk fomatting and also
   copying files from/to harddisk if needed (see rdstart.bat and rdstop.bat
   files supplied with the ramdisk).

   Use these steps to install .bat files:

   3.1 click Start button, select Run...
   3.2 type mmc and click OK
   3.3 click Console/Add/Remove Snap-in menu
   3.4 click Add... button on the Standalone page
   3.5 select Group Policy and confirm
   3.6 in left tree switch to Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Scripts
