Are you running TC with higher (administrator) rights?

Currently I don't have WinXP (or any 32b system) at my disposal, but I tried it using ImDisk 1.5.7 on Win8 x64 and TC worked just fine. Are you sure the P: drive really exists? Try to access it using a standard Windows command line.

BTW, MaxX is right. When you report some error or ask for a help, please provide also some background information (at least a name of the affected software and its version). Your first post wasn't very informative.

Code: Select all

ImDisk -a -s 1000MB -o fix -o hd -o rw -m K: -p "/fs:NTFS /Q /Y /C /V:RamDisk"

ImDisk -a -s 3600K -o fix -o hd -o rw -m P: -p "/fs:NTFS /Q /Y /C /V:Cache"
2. Size of ramdisk-drives and fliesystem (fat, ntfs, etc...);
NTFS 1GB
NTFS 3600K
3. Version of TC;
8rc2
4. Access properties of drives...
full access as administrator.

As I wrote I access to P: with explorer and dos command line.
i Not access with TC and TC command line.

Interesting. It works for me. Have you tried using different drive letter (like 'H' instead of 'P')? Maybe someone with WinXP should test it.

I'm using both ImDisk 1.57 and SuperSpeed RamDisk 10 and have no problems with them.
OS: 7(x64) now, and XP(x32) & XP(x64) before -> All the time combination "TC + ImDisk" works fine.
Even more, both your commands work fine.
1. Try reinstalling driver (reboot required after that).
2. Try TC 7.57a.

P: not.
Any change you set something like:
Allowed=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOQRSTUVWXYZ\
in your wincmd.ini?
Does it work if you start TC with fresh ini file?
