"What do you mean by 'RAM DISK is not an installation procedure' 

I had to comment as I just formatted a 40g hard drive using the old dos method:
first change the primary boot drive to floppy and the secondary boot to the new hd in your bios. exit saving changes - you use a w98 (or better) boot disk to boot then Fdisk (it will partition your unformatted disk and call it drive c: then Control-Alt-Delete to reboot leaving the booter upper in the floppy drive.  the format command will be on a ramdrive it calls d: format to fat32 when done reboot to bios and change the boot choices back. save and exit removing the booter from the floppy. when back in good old xp format the new drive to ntfs. so you see it is an installation procedure; sort of - kinda - well almost.
