Is it possible to get persistent RAM disk with Imdisk? [closed]

I have moved my JDK, workspace and Tomcat server to a RAM disk which is created with the help of Imdisk tool.

This move has beefed up my Eclipse IDE and my productivity.

But I loose my virtual disk whenever I boot up my machine. Is it a way to persist RAM drive and it's content?

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit with 8GB of actual RAM.

Commands to automate this are in the FAQ for Imdisk :

http://reboot.pro/topic/15593-faqs-and-how-tos/

There are ways to have scripts run at windows startup (to load the disk image) and at windows shutdown (to save the ramdisk to the disk image).

The IMDisk Toolkit wraps IMDisk and has a startup option: http://reboot.pro/files/download/284-imdisk-toolkit/
