RAM drive (B:)

On XPE project, is it neccessary to make a RAM disk at start up?
I mean without Ram disk B, what happens?
If we don't add imdisk and RAMDrive, PE will work witout trouble?
On the other hand can we make Temp folder on B hidden?
Regards.

Hi Sharp,

It was never required since the addition of FBWF but it helped when it was 1 gig
Now FBWF is able to create larger overlays on x64, I never had to use ram disk again.
but I keep the plugin installed and I don't create Ram disk upon boot but it is
there if I need it.

Without Ram disk, temp files are located to %windir%\temp automatically.
And XPE works without problems. I believe it's obsolete now. But there might
be a good reason for it to still be there today, maybe someone more into the making
of the project can say ? But I disabled this years ago and I experienced no problems related to that.

Thanks Malok for your brief answer.

Drive X:, created by the FBWF is not "full" disk, it can not lead to performance of some programs that use it.
Example - mount wim images, and other bugs with some multimedia applications and the like.
True, RamDisk, created by IMDISK the same is not devoid of these shortcomings, so create it with the Primo or Arsenal RamDisk.
I have a script for XPE, XPE I modified a bit, have to edit the script.
I can lay out a script, if it is for someone interesting.

Thank you NIKZZZZ;
I will happily examine your script, if you prefer to share.
