Was this not the right clue?
The only Ubuntu mention is about a dual boot.

With 8GB RAM, I have enough to play a bit. I found a 64 bit ramdisk driver that works in Win7, and there's a 1GB ramdisk seen as Z: with an NTFS filesystem. I'm set up to have Firefox's browser cache and profile on the ramdisk. A startup script loads the FF profile to the ramdisk from a zip archive on the hard drive, A shutdown script zips it back to catch profile changes made in that session. (I have fast broadband and don't bother preserving cache.)
The profile in the zip archive hadn't been updated in a bit, so when Windows came back up and I ran Firefox, it was a time machine trip to days back. Various updates made since the last time the zip was updated vanished. |
