[ct-user] RAMDRIVE for DVP - how to?

[Bill Hider" <n3rr@erols.com (Bill Hider)]

How can I create a RAM drive for the DVP so that the DVP data uses RAM and
not the harddrive?

Here's the environment:

P-III/1000 MHZ 256 MB/RAM WIN98SE

1.  I have a 30 GB C: HDD and a D: CDROM 
2.  I am running WIN 98SE and booting to F8/Command Prompt Only.
3.  I modified my Autoexec.bat with the line:
set DVPPATH=e
4.  I modified my CONFIG.SYS with the line:
device=c:\windows\ramdrive.sys 1024 512 64 /e

Then, I rebooted, hit F8, selected Command prompt Only
and received the message that Extended Memory manager was not available.

I then modified config.sys to include SMARTDRV.sys and autoexec.bat
to include EMM386.exe, but the error came up: XMS manager not available.

What is needed to create the RAMDrive in drive E:?

Thanks,

Bill, N3RR
