Fastdump is very simple to use. Use a USB stick or other means to make Fastdump available to a command prompt on the target windows system. Type “fd.exe ” where filename is the dump file and Fastdump will take a snapshot of physical RAM. This file will be a binary dump of RAM. The size of the resulting file will depend on the amount of RAM present in the target machine. Fastdump is optimized to work with USB transfers so it should perform well even when dumping to a USB drive.
