How to get Windows 7 to recognize more than 4 GB or 8 GB USB driver for ReadyBoost?

I have a USB stick 8 GB that I used it with Vista for ReadyBoost.  Of course Vista only recognized 4 GB for ReadyBoost, but Windows 7 is supposed to recognize more.  However, Windows 7 recognizes more than 4 GB stick for ReadyBoost.  How can I get Windows & to recognize more than 4 GB for the ReadyBoost.

Hello

You can try to format the disk in the format exFAT?  Open computer with the inserted Flash drive.  It just right-click on it and select format.  The last option, you will see is exFAT and there, use the menu drop down.  Select and format the drive using this.  Then after it's done, right click on it again and select Properties.  You'll see the ReadyBoost tab.  Click on it and it will let you know if the device can be used and that therefore to ripped it on.

    Rrrr, you cannot

    However, you can use your HARD drive as an NTFS folder. As far as I know, these folders only on C:\ appeare.

    So if you have 3 partition, you will have something like this: C:\Part1, C:\Part2, C:\Part3.

    Then, right click on computer-> manage-> disk management.

    Here, you can select your HARD drive, create new partitions and use them as NTFS folders.

    Then, right click a partition, change drive letter, and click Add or change and you will be able to ride like a NTFS folder.

    Or, Yes, you can merge 2 partitions.

    I use 15-n205tx laptop computer with windows 8.1 hp 64 bit pre installed now I need to re install the windows with extra partition only having a c volume now os and any other content is stored in a single volume
    so I need for us as a 2-volume one for data and one for the operating system how to do it please give me the procedure

    Hi @vipinuly,

    If I understand you correctly, you want to create an additional partition on the device.

    If you use provided Hp OEM OS image, it allows you to create the partition during the installation of the operating system.  You can add the partition after installing the OS, but this is not recommended by hp.

    You can create physical partition or volume with Retail OS image.

    Here are a few links to help to create an additional partition

    To create a partition or a logical drive:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/17418/Windows-7-create-format-hard-disk-partition

    NOTE: With the hp OEM operating system image, perform the recovery on the unit will scan the entire score and data as well as those. Therefore, we believe always take backup of data before you perform the recovery of the unit.

    I hope that answers your question.

    How to get windows 7 Professional operating system software for existing key

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

No doubt about it.

    Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window.

    Take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

    Hi brephosa8701,

    Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.
