The size of an image-based RAM disk is determined by the size of its image file. If you have an image-based RAM disk and want to make it larger or smaller, follow the steps below.

To increase the size:

1. Right-click the disk in the main window and select Resize.
2. Enter a larger size.
3. Click Ok to apply the change.
4. Now the image file will be extended to the larger size. This new size will in turn affect the associated RAM disk capacity.

To reduce the size:

1. Create a new image file of the desired size via Image – Create Image in the main menu.
2. Mount this image file via Image – Mount Image.
3. Copy the data from your current image-based RAM disk to the newly mounted image.
4. Unmount the new image via Image – Unmount Image.
5. Open the properties of the RAM disk and change its image path to the new one.
6. Reboot your computer. (For the disks where data definitely isn't written or read at that moment, it is safe to simply remount the disk instead of rebooting the computer.)
7. Now your RAM disk should have the new size and your old data in it. The old image file can now be deleted.
