linux ramdisk running windows

[supasoaker]

how easy would it be to create a ramdisk in linux then load windows via that?

i know it can be done with vmware but issues such as the lack of support for graphics hardware acceleration makes me want to find a different route.......

the idea would be to run linux in the background and run and load a windows installation off a ramdisk partition in linux (formatted in NTFS if needed) - on first boot linux would load and copy the windows files to the ramdisk then load windows...............as long as linux is running i can restart windows as many times as I want as it is running from the ramdrive..............

comments on cost effectiveness to be avoided if possible, this is purely a technical question.............

any help much appreciated.............

hi - thanks for the reply.

yes best of both worlds is the aim if ever possible.................

my assumption was that it would be easier to do and provide a stable platform if I used linux as my primary OS but would like the full functions of windows which would be dead fast

there are ways to do it for linux and windows too but the windows ones have some issues..........but still usable.........

any suggestions as to how i would be able to accomplish this using windows natively or should i post on another forum (since this is linux and openware)..............Diskless Angel is one app that works but i am looking around for other options............
