Are you using partition images or harddisk images? You need images with a Master
Boot Record (MBR) and a 32K offset to the actual partition. AFAIK WinImage can
only handle the partition part.
BTW: Windows will usually not work in a RAM disk. I have seen Win95 running
successfully, but that's tricky and probably not worth the effort.
DOS will run from large images without any trouble.
