Formatted ramdisk

Hi,

I have modified the ramdisk sample driver to map a reserved memory
(Booit.ini /burmemory=128). I also saved a NTFS formatted disk image file
that I load during the initialization of my driver so I do not have to format
the 128 MB ramdisk every time Windows boots. This works fine on Windows NT,
2000, 2000 SP1,2,3. When I installed the driver in Windows 2000 SP4, Windows
prompts me to format the disk even after my driver loaded the formatted disk
image. I can format the ramdisk (NTFS) successfully. However I do not want to
format the ramdisk manually after every boot. Why Windows 2000 SP4 does not
recognize that the disk is already formatted? Is there a way to format the
disk NTFS in the driver
Thanks,

Daniel
