When you create a ramdisk, in the "Substance Settings" wizard page, make sure that you set "Physical Drive" size 0MB, otherwise you will create a hybrid virtual ramdisk which does not allow the image feature. Then in the "Image Settings" wizard page, you tick the option "Enable associated image file", and type the image file's path and name that you want.

Oh yeah thank you very much.
1 small question i have:
I was set up a 24 GB ram disk and currently is 1,4 GB in use. My image file is 24 GB.
I thought the image file is just as big as the ram disk is..
(1,4GB in use = 1,4GB image File)

Well, image files will occupy the space as big as ramdisk size first. This is to prevent the possible failure because of insufficient disk space later when the amount of data in the ramdisk increases.
