When I run your build in one-time setup, it comes up unformatted. Seems to me, you should format it when you generate it. Youir instructions do not mention having to format it.
But this 'one-time' feature does not work. Next boot, there is no ram disk.
I have created a scheduled task which is the same as the 'one time' above except the Author is my username, not SYSTEM and I see no way to change that. The 'History' of that task shows that is has 'Never' run. At boot, I do not get 'anything' from you - consistent w Never having run.
When I open Admin cmd line, I can key in ' imdisk -a -s 12g -m I: -p "/fs:ntfs /q /y" ' and it works: I get 11 GB I: drive - formatted. If I right click on this drive to dismount it, it goes away. If I hit F3 to bring up the previous command, I can execute it again and it works again: I: is back. Repeat. This 'path' just 'works' tho it is the most inconvenient path imaginable.
If I navigate the Admin cmd line window to the cmd file I generated [in _imdisk directory], when I type in the name of the cmd file there, it 'runs' but does not produce a ram disk.
Why won't the one-time [format and] repeat at next boot; why won't the scheduled task work, even tho the command line w same information does work? How can I capture the CMD line procedure in to a desktop icon so I can manually do this w a single click? Running the above imdisk command line as .cmd and as .bat is the same. They both 'run' and [high speed] scroll dozens of B&W operations but neither produces a ram disk.
I have read that it cannot be done as startup task, since that path would allow malware to load and run [Admin], so only the scheculed task is legal/available. It just doesn't work.
I had this working w your software 20 years ago. W2000.
