(This isn't exactly what you asked for but it may be a better solution is you are willing to leave the boot media mounted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The first method is to create a ramdrive, copy your HD image to the ramdrive and boot from the ramdriveCan you elaborate on this?Which tools you use, how you make the Ramdisk, how you copy HD image to it, how you boot it?A similar (open) thread on 911CD:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18326jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
