If you've saved it to ramdisk, that's what you asked to happen.

You can't save files to a software ramdisk and expect it to be there after you've rebooted. To some, that's the whole point of a software ramdisk. You need to save it to your flash disk for it be still be there after you've rebooted.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramdisk for more information on ramdisks.

If what you have is a new-fangled solid-state ramdisk thing, I don't know how to help you as I've never used one.

can you please let me know how to move the data to flash even that will be fine

You need to mount the flash disk you have, and then save files there instead of in your ramdisk. Files on a flash drive should be permanent.
