I doesn't matter what you boot with.
A bootable CD will need a ramdrive, because you can't write to the CD will
you are booting.
Look in the help for burning a bootable CD. Some settings have to be
changed.
You will have to alter the autoexec.bat to reflect the correct drive letter.
When you boot to the memory drive, what drive letter does the drive have?
