You need to do this to be able to format hard drives etc. When Ramdrive runs, it assigns the next drive letter to itself and then other drives are reassigned one letter higher e.g c: remains the same, d: is now ramdrive, new partition is e:, and cdrom moves to f: (if you had not partitioned then cdrom would have moved from d: to e:). So if you want to format the new partition, you will need to format e:. Clear as mud? I have had to guess a little as you didn't quite supply enough info. One important point is that ramdrive is only active until you reboot, so our drive letters will go back to normal - I would expect to see hard drive c:, new partition d:, cdrom e:.	Guest (0)
