Note carefully the following section of the FAQ you reference above: I don't want to lose my data on the RAMDisk, so what must I do? In the 'Load and Save' tab, check the box entitled 'Save Disk Image on Shutdown'. Also check the 'AutoSave' box, selecting the backup interval that meets your needs. Your data will be written to the hard drive for safe keeping. Remember, when power is removed from RAM memory, the data is lost. Bear that in mind when you consider what you might want to put there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
