I had to type fast, and didn't represent one solution to the issue of repopulating the drive.
imagine this
you boot to xp...or linux...doesn't matter, I'm just making a point...in reality, it would of course be an open source os, so w could work on this.
ok, so you boot to linux
you are booting from the harddrive, and you are up and working just as soon.
now, in the backround, the os is secretly caching all of the hardrive into your ram...all of it.
when this is done, the os will switch to your ram drive...as you work
so
no slowdown waiting to boot, as the boot remains the same as it would a conventional boot.
then, a couple of minuts into your work, the turbocharger kicks in
now, you are working entirely from cache.
and now, while you are working from cache, the hardrive is also storing the work at the same time that you are working from your cache...
total physical prtection from a crash, but totall speed of everything you are working on as you are not using the hardrive for your work
