Setting the ramdisk media type to ramdisk is missing a component for proper initialization (the other file types work well). Another drive that has removable media is required to load up required drivers for this ramdisk - without the removable media the ramdisk is RAW. As soon as the removable media is inserted the Ramdisk is usable. This is most likely an oversight as that the writer having this dependent component loaded up in the background didn't realize it was dependent. Systems without this component do not work. There is a newer release as well 01.01.2008 which allows for >=4GB ramdisks (the error is still apparent within this new release) The ramdisk driver has an error.
