Correct syntax in CLI to create pagefile in RAM disk using AIM Toolkit

[Danish Bronco]

Hi everyone,

I finally adopted AIM Toolkit since ImDisk is now defunct (RIP 😢), but I don't know if I can create a pagefile in a RAM disk the way I used to with ImDisk.

The syntax I used looked like this (just an example):

imdisk -a -s 6G -m P: -p "/fs:ntfs /q /y"
swapadd P:\pagefile.sys 256M 5G

Swapadd is located in my Windows\System32 folder and ready to go, but I don't know:
a) If AIM Toolkit supports it; and
b) How to edit the command line above to make it work. 😐

You can just replace imdisk by aim_ll (in the installation folder). Most options are compatible.

aim_ll -a -s 6G -m P: -p "/fs:ntfs /q /y"

Never tried swapadd but it should work the same way.

OK thanks, I'll try. Is that "ll" or "II" (two lower case L's or two upper case i's)? I'll copy-paste from your post, but just in case I need to type further down the road, you know...

EDIT: it doesn't work. "aim_ll" isn't recognized as a command. Do I have to manually add AIM to the Path?

I also tried "aim_cli" just in case, same result.

Unlike ImDisk, AIM Toolkit copies no file in Windows\System32.
As I said, you have to go in the installation folder (or write the full path to aim_ll).

"ll" means "low level".

OK, I'm not sure I understood everything in your last post so here's what I did: I copy-pasted swapadd.exe onto the C:\Programmes\AIM Toolkit folder, then edited my .bat file with the complete path of both aim_ll and swapadd and now it's working.

Thanks for your help!

I'm still not sure what difference placing a pagefile in the RAM disk is going to make, but I wanted to try anyway.
