Hi guys,

I just completed my build and got everything up and running. I have not had any issues yet since doing a fresh install of Windows 7 and installing all of my MSI drivers.

I am using MSI's Live Update Tool Version 6. All of the Drivers installed fine except for an MSI utility driver called RAMDisk (version: 1.0.0.14). This driver downloads just fine and then I get an error code when it tries to install that says, "DeleteFile failed; code 5."

If I hit the Retry button, it throws the same error, and I cannot find anything about this driver.

As I said before, I have not had any issues yet, but my question is how critical is this driver and what issues could I run into? Or preferably, what can I do to remedy the situation and get the driver to install?

I have included a screen shot of the error that includes the MSI Live Update Tool and hardware specs.

Cheers.

Solution
That utility is not needed at all, it's just there if you want to setup a RAMDisk which is a virtual hard drive using the system RAM. With SSDs being pretty common, that really has a lot less use than it used to.
