How the system RAM is used
The ISO for Active@ Boot Disk was created from Windows PE (Pre-installation Environment), a lightweight version of Windows Vista.
When booting from the CD/DVD drive or from a USB storage device, Windows PE creates a writable RAM disk (X:) and places itself on this drive for loading. While Windows is booting up, it loads itself into RAM. After Windows has started, the boot CD/DVD may be removed from the drive or the USB flash card may be removed from the USB port. Starting with 300MB of RAM, all that is left is about 60MB of writable space to work with.
