I am using ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver Version 2.0.10 on Windows 10.
I want to format a RAM disk in my PowerShell script (it runs a benchmark) without administrator authority, so I am trying to format the RAM disk with Format-Volume Powershell cmdlet.
The format-Volume cmdlet can take MSFT_Partition or MSFT_Volume object as an argument, so I have tried "Get-Volume", "Get-CimInstance Win32_Volume" and "Get-CimInstance Win32_DiskPartition". But these cmdlets seem to ignore the RAM disk created with ImDisk Toolkit.
Is there any way to get MSFT_Partition or MSFT_Volume object for the RAM disk created with ImDisk Toolkit?
Such features are unfortunately not available for ImDisk virtual disks. This is because it is based on a rather old driver design and it does not interact with the Volume Mount Manager in Windows.
Thank you for the comment. I will try to format the RAM disk by using format command and with administrator authority.
