Actually I need 7GB RAMDISK to use with my Caching Drive Project. I have to use RAMDISK of 7GB or more for the Caching purpose. The Architecture is like Disk Caching Disk (DCD), but here I hav to use RAMDISK.
I created RAMDISK using physical address as I hav reserved all RAM above 1GB for my RAMDISK, but I am not able to create RAMDISK of 7GB as a single Drive.
Is there any Idea regarding this ????
