ChrisBaksa Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Suggestions...Copy your vbscript to the RAM disk first and run it from there. This way the scrit file is not lost.Use the INRAM switch on your PE build.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paluds Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Well Done Chris.With just :OsLoadOptions ="/fastdetect /minint /inram"Nevertheless, I have a warning popup when I remove my first cd.Anybody have an idea ??Thanks.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawwen Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Make sure you are using Windows PE 2004 and that you "loose focus" on the cd drive letter before swapping the cd. eg, cd into either the cd root or to another drive letter (ramdisk or harddisk)The /inram switch doesnt work correctly with older versions of Windows PE.RegardsJohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribond Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Note also that 2005 will ship with RAMDISK boot functionality that supplants /INRAM and makes this (approximately) 2000 times easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawwen Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Absolutely, works very well too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
