MegaSantiago200 did you install Windows 7 on the RAM though? Or did you install it on a hard disk with RAM? I'm talking about if you install it straight to the RAM. The 64 bit W7 OS is >5GB.
think about how big windows 7 is to install it, if your going to install windows 7 to the ram you would need alot. going to try this out since i just bought/installed 16Gb worth of ram for my computer
Will it work with win10? I want to buy a cheap x99 kit from China with a huge amount of RAM and make it work every day for my happiness. Can I make it?
Sadly I tried this, but my actual OS drive, with the VHD doesn't show up, the entire OS drive. I have it in a raid, does that change how the files are accessed?
Hi, this video is a double-edged sword, it is interesting but it also leaves many questions on the air. I have some. Does this still work? Which are the requirements? What do we need? Is this to install windows as new? Where did you install it? The new partition that appears from 8G can be bigger? Or is it just for the windows? Where will the programs be installed? Also correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I could understand, this whole process was done in a new windows installed on the PC, and you took some files from the installation CD. Thank you for responding.Greetings from the future.
ElendilAndAragorn Oh, I understand wanting to run Windows from a RAMdisk. I just wonder why he didn't want to compliment it with a hardrive for backups.
A system with no moving parts would be really nice.. although it wouldn't really be an issue of space because you could do this with an NUC and just put a 64gb ssd in for backups.. who knows
ok... soooo... how can we create a image of the ramdisk after changes have been made? (drivers installed, programs updates, windows secutrity updates completed etc) then you just need to create the ramdisk, load the updated image and boot like normal. that would end the volatility problem correct?
I did exactly what you told me to in the video. However, when I start my computer, a fat dude pops up on the screen and says "Uh! Uh! You didn't say the magic word!" HELP.. what does this MEAN?
I got 72GB DDR3 10600R ECC and would like to try this but the video is to dry form me to understand whats happening, Is there a talk through for this ?
I have a Windows 7 version that runs from a USB and loads onto RAM. If I do any changes I have to use a registry tweak to have the OS write all the new changes before I shut the machine off. It's very light and I loaded it into a virtual machine.
what is the size of the image and how long does it take to load this in RAM. My is usb 3.0 is sometimes good but most of the time slow like 2.0. especially when I boot from power off. Anyway I always use RAID to load this image in to RAM with grub4dos.
My machine is old (2009) DDR2 RAM. It loads faster than my W10. As I said, it's in a USB stick and loads onto RAM. It's a Windows 7 embedded version. I made a copy and use it in a virtual machine as well, but my computer only has 4 GB of RAM and half of it is for the host computer (in VM). All my USB ports are 2.0 so I guess with more RAM and USB 3.0 it will be a lot faster. It's also a 32 bit version of Windows.
you can still use your sata drive to load in to RAM with grub4dos. there must be a grub4dos entry in your BCD and the VHD must reside on that harddrive. anyway it is maybe something to think about.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I'm going to practice. It is seen that this very good and super fast, is just what I was looking to brag to friends who have very fast machines my machine (PC) is much better.
I don't know how big it is... Wouldn't it be like 100 MB?? Cause that is how big it is on the System Partition, but you would also need RAM to run Windows 7 itself. I don't know how much that would be. I only have 6 GB of RAM... could upgrade if I wanted.
I get an error message when I try and open up the BOOT_BCD file after mounting it to the empty NTFS folder in Disk Management. Do you know how to fix this?
Well I manage to get A VHD to boot, which is awesome, but now I am having trouble getting drivers onto the VHD. So I created a new VHD big enough to handle the needed drivers, but I keep getting error 15 file not found. I cloned the working VHD so I assumed it should have worked just as well.
After searching some more I found rt7lite. I haven't been able to get it to work effectively though. Do you know of any other programs that can lighten Win7?

hey man, i made a ramdisk of 1gb , i have 4gb and i don't want to use the Hard Disk for virtual memory, so i got to virtual memory settings and i made the ram disk to be virtual memory, this means 1GB virtual memory(but it is physical because of ramdisk) and now i have 3GB free ram, it is a good thing or not? :)
If i run as administratot it says "vhdtool not found" but if i run it without administrator i can put file name and size, but it can't create the file because it doesn't have permision. EDIT: Solved the problem running a separated elevated command prompt and doing cd c:\ ( press enter ) and after that CreateVHD.cmd and press enter.
Well, I tried this using windows 10. I don't understand why the disk space is being eaten by the minute, without doing a thing (fresh install no drivers or software but firadisk). And I can just get it back after rebooting (I mean the vhd, not the ramWindows) (or so it seems). I'll give it a try using windows 7 (no SP1, which is the same in this video), still I don't expect a different outcome.
Hi, I am facing the same problem, everytime I reboot my Win10, the space always not enough, the VHD size at the first time is 5GB, the sytem showed that I need 10483712kb space, which is 10238MB, so the second time I gave the VHD 12GB of size, and the system told me that I need 24xxxxxxkb space, it always need double space, I truly don't know what to do , did you solve this problem by using win7?
hallo. I just think you need to turn off automatic updates. I never have problems. I run server 2003, windows 10 enterprise, server 2012 and hyper-v core server all in ram and use it at a daily basis. whenever my c drive is full Sporadically I just reboot windows and start all over again.
Hi, The automatic updates was removed before installation, for I am using a reduced iso of windows 10, after failed a couple of times, I found out the problem is the boot/bcd of the VHD, I still don't kown how to fix it, can you help me?

This isn't hard at all. If you download the files and just use another PC or Tablet to keep pausing you can do this step by step and you can do it. Don't let it get to you just because it seems difficult. It isn't. This would speed your computer up even so much faster then the best of SSDs that it is worth it. A hard drive speed is around 180Mb on a good day. SSD= 550Mb for a good one Ramdisk= 5500Mb. There is no comparison!
Hello f.i.o , tested a few days ago from your tutorial and it's amazing , it works perfectly!!! ( i7 + 16GB ram + 2TO HD). Bios takes more time to boot than w7ultimate x86. Just a problem with hiberfile.sys that remains , tried to execute a bat file with powercfg -h off to free more space. Do you have an idea to free more space ? Even windows update works when booting VHD from HD. Thanks!
+TalkashieGaming It is a "How to" video, not a demonstration of performance... There's no point for this video to be 20 minutes long. This was recorded inside a virtual machine, that's why it is slow. On a real computer it will be as fast as your CPU and RAM are.
What do you think about this idea: Adding a PCIE 3.0 SSD plus installing and running Windows 7 64-Bit on a 32 GB, better 64 GB RAM plus the normal SSD's as a "Harddisk" should increase the performance. That exactly means: - Install Win7 on RAM (run programms like Photoshop in the RAM with around 5 - 6 GB/s bandwith) - Use a PCIE 3.0 SSD harddrive for things like saving projects from Photoshop or music, better for some ressources like WAVE samples (around 1 - 2 GB/s bandwith) - Use the normal SSD's like a storage for movies, installer etc.. (500 - 700 GB bandwith) Otherwise use the SSD's in RAID mode. That's what I'm thinking of doing it in the next couple days. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. ---- It is possible, to save things on the Windows 7 running on RAM? I mean pictures, movies, games or something else or are they going lost after restart? Cheers
***** thanks for reply. Hm... So it's better to fully install Windows 7 to a PCIE 3.0 SSD and loading it into the RAM (PCIE 3.0 SSD should be faster than the normal SSD's, but they are still horrible expensive). Let me do an example with Win7 and a music production program: - Installing Win7 and PreSonus 2 on the PCIE 3.0 SSD (1,5 GB/s) - When loading Windows intro RAM from PCIE 3.0 SSD (1,5 GB/s), it should load into it with the speed of the PCIE 3.0 SSD plus the workflow should be around 5 - 6 GB/s, depends on hardware setup of RAM - Samples and such VST's wich you need for music making, are stored onto the SSD's. Samples are getting loaded once (Increasing lifetime for the SSD) Do you agree with me, or did I something wrong? I'm just brainstorming how to do a "Hell-Machine". Cheers
Here I have a link to my google drive where you can download boot.zip. This is the boot folder with the BCD inside. However, in our case, after having installed windows this folder will not be present. The one that boots windows from VHD resides on the HD and is (when booting from RAM) only relevant to reach grub4dos. Unzip it and copy it to your VHD with windows 10, 7, server 2012, server 2016 and windows 8. This is one important step as is installing the firadisk driver. There will be more options in the menu boot just choose server 2012 r2. The title is not important, it will just boot whatever you have on that vhd. You might as well change the title to whatever you please and delete the remaining entries with easy bcd which is also provided due to this link. drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzMDw1nKgXKifm5sUkRjNU12OUFNM05Xa2tsZEVFdmZJdTNSam5yMUd5aHhBYVNaZG9rTk0

hey man, i made a ramdisk of 1gb , i have 4gb and i don't want to use the Hard Disk for virtual memory, so i got to virtual memory settings and i made the ram disk to be virtual memory, this means 1GB virtual memory(but it is physical because of ramdisk) and now i have 3GB free ram, it is a good thing or not? :)
How much it boots faster? Combination with HDD or SSD?
+Lobero It is probably 5-10 times faster than my SSD.
This work is good and very use full
If i run as administratot it says "vhdtool not found" but if i run it without administrator i can put file name and size, but it can't create the file because it doesn't have permision.
EDIT: Solved the problem running a separated elevated command prompt and doing cd c:\ ( press enter ) and after that CreateVHD.cmd and press enter.
Very nice job !
Well, I tried this using windows 10. I don't understand why the disk space is being eaten by the minute, without doing a thing (fresh install no drivers or software but firadisk). And I can just get it back after rebooting (I mean the vhd, not the ramWindows) (or so it seems).
I'll give it a try using windows 7 (no SP1, which is the same in this video), still I don't expect a different outcome.
Hi, I am facing the same problem, everytime I reboot my Win10, the space always not enough, the VHD size at the first time is 5GB, the sytem showed that I need 10483712kb space, which is 10238MB, so the second time I gave the VHD 12GB of size, and the system told me that I need 24xxxxxxkb space, it always need double space, I truly don't know what to do , did you solve this problem by using win7?
hallo.
I just think you need to turn off automatic updates.
I never have problems.
I run server 2003, windows 10 enterprise, server 2012 and hyper-v core server all in ram and use it at a daily basis.
whenever my c drive is full Sporadically I just reboot windows and start all over again.
You have to stop the service automatic updates in windows 10 for there is no other option.
Hi,
The automatic updates was removed before installation, for I am using a reduced iso of windows 10, after failed a couple of times, I found out the problem is the boot/bcd of the VHD, I still don't kown how to fix it, can you help me?

with this link you can download my boot folder and extract it to your vhd.
При запуске виндовс в рам вискакивает ошибка 0xc0000221 file: ataports.sys "Windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt." устанавливал и він 10 и 7 х64 и 32. 2 дня мучаюсь, помогите! Делал все согласно инструкции только grab4dos устанавливую спомощью bootice.
DUDE THIS IS GD BUT TOO COMPLEX FOR ME. CAN U PUT IT IN A EZ WAT
hello everybody i have followed all the instruction step by step testing win7 tiny 32bit in virtmanager vm but after the last reboot i am getting try hd(0,0) NTFS5 after grub4dos ! can anyone have some experience with this kind of boot if there a fix ? i appreciate any help in the comment
Try hd(0,1) or another number. I made it also by trial and error. U can edit it on grub4dos bootloader before booting
You are DA MAN ! ! ! ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER !
ramdisk testing has more information on this subject.
This isn't hard at all. If you download the files and just use another PC or Tablet to keep pausing you can do this step by step and you can do it.
Don't let it get to you just because it seems difficult. It isn't.
This would speed your computer up even so much faster then the best of SSDs that it is worth it.
A hard drive speed is around 180Mb on a good day.
SSD= 550Mb for a good one
Ramdisk= 5500Mb.
There is no comparison!
cool RAM disks
It seems slower than an PCI-E or M.2 drive
+wompaper This video was recorded inside a virtual machine, real computer is much faster.
Hello f.i.o ,
tested a few days ago from your tutorial and it's amazing , it works perfectly!!! ( i7 + 16GB ram + 2TO HD).
Bios takes more time to boot than w7ultimate x86.
Just a problem with hiberfile.sys that remains , tried to execute a bat file with powercfg -h off to free more space. Do you have an idea to free more space ?
Even windows update works when booting VHD from HD.
Thanks!
This video is sped up a bit.
+TalkashieGaming It is a "How to" video, not a demonstration of performance... There's no point for this video to be 20 minutes long. This was recorded inside a virtual machine, that's why it is slow. On a real computer it will be as fast as your CPU and RAM are.
boot time isnt fast i expected, what is the speed ram
Ramdisk , after turn off computer you will lose all archives.
You only lose changes to c: (which is a good thing - I don't want changes to the OS).
yes this is the great thing you always want to have fresh system drive.
What do you think about this idea:
Adding a PCIE 3.0 SSD plus installing and running Windows 7 64-Bit on a 32 GB, better 64 GB RAM plus the normal SSD's as a "Harddisk" should increase the performance. That exactly means:
- Install Win7 on RAM (run programms like Photoshop in the RAM with around 5 - 6 GB/s bandwith)
- Use a PCIE 3.0 SSD harddrive for things like saving projects from Photoshop or music, better for some ressources like WAVE samples (around 1 - 2 GB/s bandwith)
- Use the normal SSD's like a storage for movies, installer etc.. (500 - 700 GB bandwith)
Otherwise use the SSD's in RAID mode.
That's what I'm thinking of doing it in the next couple days. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
----
It is possible, to save things on the Windows 7 running on RAM? I mean pictures, movies, games or something else or are they going lost after restart?
Cheers
***** thanks for reply.
Hm... So it's better to fully install Windows 7 to a PCIE 3.0 SSD and loading it into the RAM (PCIE 3.0 SSD should be faster than the normal SSD's, but they are still horrible expensive).
Let me do an example with Win7 and a music production program:
- Installing Win7 and PreSonus 2 on the PCIE 3.0 SSD (1,5 GB/s)
- When loading Windows intro RAM from PCIE 3.0 SSD (1,5 GB/s), it should load into it with the speed of the PCIE 3.0 SSD plus the workflow should be around 5 - 6 GB/s, depends on hardware setup of RAM
- Samples and such VST's wich you need for music making, are stored onto the SSD's. Samples are getting loaded once (Increasing lifetime for the SSD)
Do you agree with me, or did I something wrong?
I'm just brainstorming how to do a "Hell-Machine".
Cheers
Bill Gates what are you doin in your pause?
mad genuis
Having a RAM disk on VM must need a fuckton of RAM X)
1st world storage ...
Only w7 ultimate and enterprise CAN BOOT froklm vhd
Do not know how to talk? Are you mute?
When he started the video i thought he is running windows from ramdisk and i was about to comment: “Wow man that’s blazing fast Windows!”
but no
he is
Yes sounds
Y Love You
ok this one is with clock

Here I have a link to my google drive where you can download boot.zip.
This is the boot folder with the BCD inside.
However, in our case, after having installed windows this folder will not be present.
The one that boots windows from VHD resides on the HD and is (when booting from RAM) only relevant to reach grub4dos.
Unzip it and copy it to your VHD with windows 10, 7, server 2012, server 2016 and windows 8.
This is one important step as is installing the firadisk driver.
There will be more options in the menu boot just choose server 2012 r2.
The title is not important, it will just boot whatever you have on that vhd.
You might as well change the title to whatever you please and delete the remaining entries with easy bcd which is also provided due to this link.

thanks I will post one with server 2012 soon.
yes...very easy!!LOL
What a useless video. No sound, and I am not going to wreck my mouse, starting and stopping video 20,000 times trying to figure out what he's doing.
LOL not sure if I should like or dislike this comment
Don't need it, it's fine works like a charm
