Hello we use HP Thin Client T5740 I would like disable Z partion or HP RAM DISK manager because if thin client is running 2 days Windows XP Embedded freezes. I checked the Z partion and it was full I belivie that the root of problem with freezing Windows is in Z partion.

If windows freeze I restart thin client and it cleaned Z partion than is everything OK.

Thank for your feedback

What is the Z partition being used for? It sounds like temp space for XP embedded. Anyways, if it's cleared on reboot, you could schedule a daily reboot during off-business hours. – Joe Internet Jul 21 '11 at 20:12

You will need this as per having your TEMP and TMP folder to be stored. But there are work around in this.

Change the location of TEMP or TMP folders Go to My Computer > Right Click > Properties > Advance System Settings > Environmental Variables. In here you will find your TEMP and TMP drive is pointing at Z:/ Simple change the variables of Z:/ into C:/ for both of them, then reboot the thin client. You will find your TEMP and TMP will be using your C:/ and you will have no problems.

Increase the Ramdisk As you are using HP T5740 which is WES2009, you can only set to 96MB. If this is not enough, then you will need to use the above method.

FYI, the new WES7 SP1 can go up to 1GB of RAMDISK.

Cheers
