If you encounter these issues, turn this setting on. Some specialised applications or disk utilities may not work with a standalone volume, producing I/O errors or simply unable to access it. Tick Hard Disk Emulation if you want to emulate a complete hard disk drive with partitions indistinguishable from a real device. These folders are used by the Recycle Bin and System Restore features.

Tick Mount as Removable if you do not want Windows to create the Recycled or System Volume Information folders on the disk. The options grouped under Mount Options allow you to configure what will happen upon mounting and dismounting the disk, as well as a Drive Letter you wish the disk to be assigned to.

The size of an image-based RAM disk is determined by the size of the image file. If you are creating a persistent RAM disk that can keep its contents between sessions, you will need to create an image file first, then leave the disk size field empty and specify the Image File Name with its full path. For that, in Disk Information section you will need to specify the disk Size in megabytes and leave the image file field empty. In most common usage scenario, you will be creating a volatile RAM disk that erases all its contents on shut down.
