I remember when you guys started in with the third-party bundles, wrapped in ghettotastic Asus skins. Was a bit of an Asus fanboy in the mid '00s, then had a run of bad asus boards, which seems to have continued to my most recent purchase, an M6E. The first few months of ownership spent waiting for the BIOS update that finally fixed the CONSTANT SLI studdering (yes, in spite of an assortment of different configurations, an RMA, and three different sets of late-model geforce cards).

Anyways, fast forward to last week. I went to update ROG's Ramdisk... first it undid the drive I had made, 8gb I believe (32gb in the system), then I was expecting it to uninstall, but it didn't. I waited a hot minute, tried it again, error ahoy!

ROG RAMDisk

An installation support file could not be installed.

Catastrophic failure

OK

So I went back and tried to reinstall, the new version, even the previously installed version; same exact error. Rinsed and repeated after a reboot, then tried again in safe mode: no dice in all the above. I've searched my ace off and it seems that either nobody decided to use the asus branded ramdrive... or I'm the lucky one that stepped on the landmine.


The query I have is this: has anybody else had similar issues, and were you able to fix it or did you end up wiping the OS? If you pulled off a fix, how?

And as a side bar... if you're using some semblance of a ramdrive outside of the asus'ed one, which are you using and how is it treating you?

Does anybody know where the ramdisk stores it's files under Win7x64 outside of the ones in the user profile and program files?

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and have a good one!
