Hi All.
Environment: Windows 8.1 w. latest updates.
32 GB Ram
Primo Ram Disk 5.7

Ram Disk:
4BG, SCSI (Direct IO, the same behavior), Image file on internal SSD.
Image timing save: 10 Minutes. Image format: plain. Load/Save.

Writing the image doesn't work. Neither direct via GUI nor via timing save, nor when shutting down.
Nothing happens.
The only way that works is to manually save the image via GUI with a different name.

What to do??

Kind regards
Roland

Will the contents be saved and loaded after you restart the computer?
In Windows 8 or later, Windows fast startup is enabled by default. This will make computers enter the hibernate-like state when you shutdown the computer. So you may check the image file functionality first by restarting the computer.

Hello Suport.

>>Will the contents be saved and loaded after you restart the computer?

No - it won't.
I switched it off (without current) and on again. The image file was not saved.
When I try to manually save the image file (4GB) the message: "The disk contens have been successfully saved to the image file....."
appears immediately - too soon. To write a 4 GB file, even on a ssd, should take a couple of seconds. (10 -12 sec)

Kind regards
Roland

Did you see the image file created?

Can you export your ramdisk settings for our reference?

The image file is created! I can save it manually to another image file. That's working.

VDD-File included. Remove .jpg -> add .vdd

Sent the file via mail to you.

I checked your ramdisk settings and don't find any problems.

Primo Ramdisk only saves data that were changed since last saving. So if the ramdisk contents are not changed, no data will be updated. You may copy some new files to the ramdisk and then do the saving again to check if the image file works or not. Please also note that the image file is locked by the ramdisk, so its "modified date" won't be updated during the session. It is only updated after you restart the computer.

On my ramdisk there is my FireFoy Profile, which is always in use. And even if there is only one Bit new, the file must get an new timestamp. But it doesn't.

As I said before, an image file being used is locked by Primo Ramdisk and doesn't show the latest timestamp. This is by design.
