No formatting is needed if the image is already prepared. ```bash imdisk -a -t vm -f C:\ramdisk.img -m R: ``` -------------------------------- ### Create and Expand RAM Disk using Batch File Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Combine commands to create a RAM disk from an image and then expand its size, ensuring they run in the correct order. ```bash imdisk -a -t vm -f C:\ramdisk.img -m R: imdisk -e -s 400M -m R: ``` -------------------------------- ### Create RAM Disk in Physical Memory (AWE) Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Create a RAM disk using the AWE option to allocate memory from high memory addresses, keeping it in physical memory and preventing swapping. ```bash imdisk -a -s 400M -o awe -m R: -p "/fs:ntfs /q /y" ``` -------------------------------- ### Create Awealloc Kernel Driver Service Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/ARM64-setup Creates the Awealloc kernel driver service. Ensure the binPath points to the correct location of awealloc.sys. ```bash sc create awealloc type= kernel error= ignore start= auto binPath= system32\drivers\awealloc.sys ``` -------------------------------- ### Create IMDisk Service Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/ARM64-setup Creates the IMDisk service. Ensure the binPath points to the correct location of imdsksvc.exe. ```bash sc create imdsksvc type= own error= ignore start= auto binPath= imdsksvc.exe ``` -------------------------------- ### Mount VHD File using Devio and ImDisk Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Mount a dynamically sized VHD file using the devio proxy program and ImDisk. Ensure devio remains running while the virtual disk is mounted. ```bash devio shm:vhd1 C:\harddisk.vhd ``` ```bash imdisk -a -t proxy -o shm -f vhd1 -m V: ``` -------------------------------- ### Create IMDisk Kernel Driver Service Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/ARM64-setup Creates the IMDisk kernel driver service. Ensure the binPath points to the correct location of imdisk.sys. ```bash sc create imdisk type= kernel error= ignore start= auto binPath= system32\drivers\imdisk.sys ``` -------------------------------- ### Mount Specific Partition from Image with MBR Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ To mount a specific partition from an image file with an MBR partition table, use the '-v partitionnumber' or '-b auto' option with imdisk.exe. ```bash imdisk -v 1 -m V: "C:\path\to\image.bin" ``` ```bash imdisk -b auto -m V: "C:\path\to\image.bin" ``` -------------------------------- ### Mount Harddisk Volume Image with .bin Suffix Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ When a .bin file is treated as a CD/DVD image, manually specify it as a harddisk volume using the '-o hd' command-line option. ```bash imdisk -o hd -m V: something.bin ``` -------------------------------- ### Dismount Virtual Disk Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Dismount the virtual disk mounted via ImDisk. The associated devio process will exit automatically. ```bash imdisk -d -m V: ``` -------------------------------- ### Mount Virtual Disk to Subdirectory Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Mount a virtual disk to an empty NTFS subdirectory instead of a drive letter. The subdirectory must be on an NTFS volume and empty. This requires Windows 2000 or later. ```bash md C:\vdisk ``` ```bash imdisk -a -t vm -f C:\vdisk.img -m C:\vdisk ``` ```bash imdisk -d -m C:\vdisk ``` ```bash imdisk -a -t vm -f C:\vdisk.img ``` -------------------------------- ### Save RAM Disk to Disk Image Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Use rawcopy to save the contents of a RAM disk (R:) to a disk image file. ```bash rawcopy -mld \\.\R: C:\ramdisk.img ``` -------------------------------- ### Expand RAM Disk Size Source: https://github.com/ltrdata/imdisk/wiki/FAQ Add additional space to an existing RAM disk.
