me how to make a RamDisk in WindowsXP Professional. I have got 1280mb Ram

Why? The RAMDISK that came with earlier versions of Windows is FAT16
equivalent and is not compatible with XP. I don't think there is an NTFS or
FAT32 version.

You may want to consider this product:
http://www.arsoft-online.com/products/product.php?id=1

You also could try Microsoft's suggestion:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=257405

Or just trudge through this web page:
http://lists.gpick.com/pages/RAM_Disks.htm

Good Luck! Hope one of these helps you!

Bust open www.google.com and look for RamDisk.
