how to convert a part of non volatile memory to volatile memory ??What exactly do you WANT to do and for what purpose? Do you want to create a ram drive?You can't convert non-volatile memory to volatile. They are different types of memory technology. The ONE exception (i believe) is cmos ram. Your bios settings are stored in volatile memory (cmos ram), and the only thing that makes it SOMEWHAT non-volatile is the cmos battery on the motherboard. Non-volatile memory does not require a constant voltage to retain data, where volatile memory does. This is why when your computer crashes you loose all your unsaved data. All that stuff you're typing is done in main DRAM memory which is volatile and requires constant power. When your computer crashes and you have to restart you loose all that unsaved data because power is temporarily disconnected from main memory. If you want the data to be saved you save it to the hard drive, either "my documents" or the "desktop"..
