RAM Disk....via IMDisk toolkit....not persisting...disappears on re-boot (1 Viewer)

[tonewheelkev]

Have you tried a different drive letter for the ram disk (just in case R: is somehow conflicting with 'hidden' recovery partition or something)?

Maybe try using CCleaner to clean up the registry?

Yup....tried all of that! (good to know I'm doing something right I suppose... )

Struggling to find a way forward here...

I would have thought that that was obvious:

(1) Re-install Windows.
(2) Resist the temptation to install the MSI RAM disk software.

Understood...

(1) Re-install.....not good with this....the original media I have, is for Win8!
There must be a 'repair' option....save all my settings/programmes?
(Thinking of RESET option here!)
(2) MSI Software not available at the mo'....so can't be tempted!!

AFAIK - once Win 10 is installed and 'activated' on a PC, it's licensed to that machine's hardware, so you can re-install it without needing the Win 8 media for licensing purposes. You can create a bootable memory stick with the Win 10 installer on it using the 'media creation' tool on the MS website, if you need to do a 'blank hard disk' install. Otherwise (as you said) there is a 'reset' option with Win 10 itself which basically does a re-install of the OS (but you loose all your installed software and settings). There are also some 'repair' options available.

Can't get past this point (Everything run as Admin)

Try press right mouse button on ImDisc icon? and Run as Administrator

As already said...."Everything run as Admin"

Could problem be with Windows 10 itself??

For what it is worth I have the same problem.
Used the 2016 32-bit lmdisk on two computers with Windows 10 64-bit. Worked as a charm.
Now I tried "upgrading" to the 2020 64-bit version. And get the same problem as you.
When setting up the disk it says it cannot format it. And it will not persist at boot.
I also get a message from Windows 10 that the new disk must be formatted (but that doesn't help).
Very annoying (happends at both Windows 10 computers).
I'm windering if I should try the 32-bit version (even if both systems are 64) or go back to the 2016 version of lmdisk.
