Booting Hiren's on a HDD

I've recently managed to install Hiren's boot CD on my HDD, in my repair/check
PC.
It's running smoothly and all that, altough I was wondering if I could some how
turn of the Ramdrive creation?

The main reason for that is that I have currently 256 RAM installed, the ramdrive takes about 15mb from the RAM and only has 1.18mb free.
I wanted to be able to install programs that I would be currently be working on,
like Active@ killdisk, furmark and ATItool, along with some others.

So the question is.
Can I remove the ramdrive and use the local disk instead.
or
Can I change the settings on how much mb ramdrive is given, then I would
put in 1gb stick for that purpose.

 

any one?

Well yes I know it's a boot disk, it's also supported for USB boot.
The main reason I installed it on a HDD is becouse it's much faster then
from a CD or a USB key.

Do you know where I could get the desired info since I can't get it here?

 

I haven't used Hiren's in quite a while and have never used it off a HD so I can't give you any tweaking advice. This thread gives a little information about how the disc is laid out and you might find something useful in it to give you some ideas.

I don't think a DOS format will understand or use 1GB of RAM. I do see some variations of the download include HBCD Customize which may be a customization tool.

 

allright thanks for that Sach2

 

Hello playman!

Could you please explain how did you manage to install Hiren CD on an HDD?

 

Hi Mazarin07. Welcome to Major Geeks.

If you look, this thread goes back to the beginning of 2011 and hasn't been revisited since. I don't know that you're going to get a reply from playman. Hiren's has since been categorized as warez by MG's so, I don't think you'll really get any help.

 

Hello!
Thanks for the welcome message!
I don't hope too much to get a feedback from playman, but who knows... 4 years have passed since this topic was visited last time, and maybe he'd got more expertise in these issues since then.
