Impossible to use the designated unit, swap-file has been created on the other drive 23 September 2013, 02:25 |
I have successfully installed RamDisk that worked well when first started. Afterwards I had to temporarily uninstall it.
Now, after having re-installed, I do all the steps needed to build the RAM disk with fixed size (40% of available RAM). The disk is created and is visible in Windows Explorer. However, the next reboot, I get the pop-up windows that informs me that it was not possible to use the designated unit, and the swap-file has been created in other drive. I am no longer able to use RamDisk
Help please ...

Because by design the swap file is used by Windows to store RAM pages in it
It's like storing RAM in RAM. You can read more about it here.
