I recently gave my XDAII (on Ather's WM6.1) away as a gift to friend. A few days ago he told me that after changing batteries a "RAMDISK 2" suddenly appeared and that his storage/memory was now half of what it was. Needles to say he wants to go back to the standard single RAMDISK config and recover his lost storage/RAM memory. I've been searching xdadev for two days now and all I could come up with is this:

youve got a case of weak backup battery, and you do frequent removal or changing of your main battery. doing this can cause you ramdisk to appear and disappear for no reason at all, sometimes your OS compensates by naming a folder RAMDISK but its not really a real ramdisk, when the real ramdisk gets restored, you will have RAMDISK - not real and RAMDISK2 - real ramdisk, where RAMDISK2 has a removable storage icon, it has happened to me a lot of times, but since i dont use RAMDISK because of this, its no problem."

Can anyone pls. tell me how to remove/delete the "phantom" RAMDISK2 and restore the full storage/memory of my friends XDAII. Thanks in advance

thats a quote from me alright. hehe.
just erase the folder RAMDISK then restart or soft reset your xda. then ramdisk2 will be named ramdisk after the restart and the old ramdisk, well you just deleted it.

also, if you installed some programs our your ramdisk, then copy those programs first to a storage card before erasing ramdisk, then just copy them back after restarting your xda.

hope that helps.
