There is a difference between
mounting an image and
mounting a RAM disk.
The main menu items under Image are for creating an image file, associating it with a drive letter (mounting) and dissociating from a drive letter (unmounting). These menus are normally only used in preparation of an image file.
The main menu items under Disk are for creating RAM disks. Those RAM disks can be based on an image file, or can be empty - whichever you choose. RAM disks are mounted automatically upon boot or upon logon, depending on the type of disk you created.
If you simply want to create an empty RAM disk that always mounts on boot to the same drive letter (e.g. R), you do not need to use images at all. The procedure is simple, as follows:
- Choose Disk - Add Boot Disk from the main menu.
- Set a desired size. Do not enter the image name.
- Choose R:\ as the drive letter.
- Choose the file system. We recommend exFAT or NTFS.
- If necessary, enter folder names to be created.
- Press OK.
That's it pretty much it - you will see a disk associated with R:\
After a reboot, an empty RAM disk will be there (since it's a RAM disk without any image, all its contents will always disappear on reboot).
