Thats a tough one , if you have disabled s: in the system restore

Maybe give the guys who made it a email ?

I assume you are running a large database. If not, the ramdrive is doing little if any good, and apparently causing a problem.

i'm not using a large database..... since my HD is slow, i just use the ramdrive for the "temp internet files"... i need both the ramdrive and the sys. restore, any clues? thx for helping

If you can, take out the ramdrive and do your system restore. After you're done, just plug it back in. I hope this helps...

lol.. you misunderstood darksiege a ram drive does not really exist...it's just ram being used as a harddrive until the computer is shut off. if you turn off the ram drive you lose all data in it

Have you choosing the ram drive in system restore, and instead of setting it to off, just set it to use 0%?

I'm not a real big fan of ramdrives in XP unless you have a large data-centric application you need running in the background. Does it really make that much of a speed difference for your browsing? If not, I'd really suggest you just lose it.

I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but just my opinion. As for the problem it's causing with system restore, does the system restore module see your ram disk as a drive? If so, just set the space allocation to near zero (or completely disable it).
