Sha'Uri Dark Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.31 16:10:00 - [1] Edited by: Sha''Uri Dark on 31/12/2006 16:16:27 I've installed both the RAMDisk and the NTFS Link programs but when I right-click the Cache folder on the ram drive and try to create a link to the Eve install I get: Failed to create junction. Most likely the target file system does not support this function. It's already NTFS, so I'm kinda at a lose as to what to try/do next. EDIT: The RAM drive that was created is FAT file system. Should this be NTFS and if so how do I change it to NTFS? -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us. said it best.

Sha'Uri Dark Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.31 18:25:00 - [3] Originally by: Tharrn The AR RAMdisk is no longer under development (stopped in like 1998?) and was written for Windows NT and 2000. I couldn't get it to give me an actual driveletter either and am now using the one DS provided - which works like a charm. Yeah I saw that they stopped support and development announcement in 05', tried DS's link but when I try to use the .inf file it says something about it not having anything about my computer in it and stops there. Guess I'll get it sorted out next year as I've got things to do for the rest of this one. -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us. said it best.
Sha'Uri Dark Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2007.01.07 23:41:00 - [4] Ok so I've had a minute to fiddle with this. I managed to get everything working or at least I think I did. I mean it worked a few times and now when I run: @echo off REM edit line below with your full eve path(no trailing \) set EVEPATH=C:\Program Files\ccp\eve REM edit line below with your full ramdisk cache folder path (no trailing \) set RAMPATH=R:\cache @echo copying files, Please wait xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H "%EVEPATH%\cache2" %RAMPATH% @echo files copied @echo removing machonet rmdir /s /q %RAMPATH%\machonet @echo machonet removed "%EVEPATH%\eve.exe" cls @echo (only press when you shutdown eve) pause rmdir /s /q "%EVEPATH%\cache2" xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H %RAMPATH% "%EVEPATH%\cache2\" rmdir /s /q %RAMPATH% mkdir %RAMPATH% exit I get: copying files, Please wait File creation error - The data present in the reparse point buffer is invalid. Unable to create directory - R:\cache File not found - . 0 File(s) copied files copied removing machonet The name of the file cannot be resolved by the system. machonet removed (only press when you shutdown eve) Press any key to continue . . . The only thing I changed in the batch file where the drive letter for the RAMdisk and the cls between the start-up and shut-down phases. Using the Cenatek RAMdisk driver atm because the one linked in the OP wounldn't work for me, kept saying the .inf file had nothing about my settings/comp in it. The r:\cache folder already exists, isn't read-only and was working. I'm at a lose as to what went wrong where. -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us. said it best.
Sha'Uri Dark Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2007.02.23 01:20:00 - [5] Originally by: Lungorthin Originally by: Sha'Uri Dark [...] when I right-click the Cache folder on the ram drive and try to create a link to the Eve install I get: Failed to create junction. Most likely the target file system does not support this function. [...] I get exactly the same error messages. Have you found a solution? or does anyone know what could be the problem? System: Win2000 and all drives having NTFS Tech-Help please I got around/fixed this by creating the cache folder on the ram drive then going to the eve/cache and creating the link there. I think the problem was that I was trying to link the cache folder on the ram drive to the ...eve/cache folder and not the ...eve/cache folder to the ram drive cache folder. Subtle difference but think that was what the problem was iirc. I'm using the ram drive program by speeddisk now as the false fatal errors where getting damn annoying with the other program. -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us. said it best.

If you right-click on the Start button on the taskbar, you can open a menu where you can choose to always hide those messages, as others have already pointed out in this thread Wow thanks for pointing that out to me. I would have never thought to read the whole thread and try the things others have done. Even with setting it to never show they would still pop up from time to time. It was annoying, now I don't have to worry about it. Ever. -------------------------------- As a Freelancer...scratch that Originally by: Shar Tegral Stop projecting your out of game beliefs of what society should be upon the rest of us. said it best.
