Raises the question of what a Ramdisk should do in order to "properly" identify itself to smartdrv... impersonate MS-RAMDRIVE, maybe ;=) I suspect a mix of bad faith and lazy coding on behalf of MS, but - whose "fault" ever it may be, the problem - once recognised! - was easily worked around by explicitly excluding the RD on smartdrive's command line. -- Czerno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
