Logon vs Boot time Disk   05 May 2014, 06:17

I would like to know what are the differnces between logon and boot time disks.
I understand that they get created in different times, but why should I want to make a logon disk if I can make it available even before logon?
I think that, either kind you use, system will require the same time to start, logon and make ramdisk available (but with boot disk windows will use the time you need to imput password to mount the image).

So, the question is: are there any downside using boot time disks?

The downside of using boot time disks is that they take up memory, when no user is logged on. Also boot time disks are available to any user in the system, which may be a security concern.

Other than that, they don't have disadvantages and that's why they are the default choice.
