PE Builder v3 plugin
Olof Lagerkvist's ImDisk
ImDisk is a virtual disk driver for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. It can use one or more disk image files
to create virtual hard disk, floppy or CD/DVD drives. The install package installs a console-mode control
program called imdisk.exe and a Control Panel applet. After install is finished, type imdisk without
parameters for syntax help or double click the ImDisk icon in the Control Panel. It also adds a menu item
in Windows Explorer so that you can right-click on a file to mount it as a virtual disk drive.
Users of mdconfig in FreeBSD will probably be familiar with the command line syntax of imdisk.exe. The
driver, service and control program can be uninstalled using the Add/Remove programs applet in the
control Panel. No reboot is required for installing or uninstalling.
This plugin also provides for using ImDisk as a replacement for the default PEBuilder RAMdisk plugin. The one
caveat is one needs to create a 4MB mini RAMdisk before using ImDisk as the BartPE RAMdisk. Not a problem,
either install ImDisk on your base system and use it to create the file or use both the BartPE and ImDisk
plugins one time, boot BartPE, create the file, save it and disable the RAMdisk plugin in PEBuilder for
future BartPE builds.
