Ready Boost
Recently I plugged a USB 1 GB in a 32 bit Vista Premium system of House who has a memory of 1 GB installed. Ready boost offered to use 870 MB of this stick, and when I tried to increse said it might slow down the system. My question, which is a function of the size of stick or something else. If I used a 2 GB or more big stick he uses more of it or still do not want to use the 870 MB? Thank you

Hello
I have a toshiba Satellite L650/0ed, it's good if I use more than one drive 8 GB flash for "ready boost" - what is the maximum number of using flash-drives can devote to the "ready-boost.
In addition, if I use a 16 gb flash drive, will this affect more memory "ready boost".
Why the 3.5 drive seagate expansion 1 TB is not compatible for ready-boost.
Thank you
-Brent907Hi mate
Please check this Microsoft page that describes the ReadyBosst

Satellite P300 - 18 M - use the card reader for Vista Ready Boost OK?
Hello
I have a P300 - 18M, and due to get a new phone, have a spare Micro SD 8 GB card.
I put it in the card reader, and I currently use it for Ready Boost, even though I have 3 GB of RAM, there is certainly a performance gain...However, no one knows if this could endanger the card reader? (IE damage it in any way) to be used all the time?
Thank you
Jack
Hmm. I wonder about the 8 GB card Micro SD.
As far as I know and according to some details in the internet, Satellite P300 supports the microSD (with adapter) 512 MB to 4 GB.
Usually the laptop card reader s should recognize either large 4 GB microSD cards.However I doubt it might affect the functionality of the card reader in the worst case that the 8 GB microSD card will not be recognized by the card reader

Flash drive, write protected after the use of Ready Boost
I have a 8 GB USB flash drive, and I've been using ~ 4 GB for Ready Boost for quite a while now. When I tried to write something on the drive recently, I get a message saying that it is write protected. I tried to change the size of the cache, but has nothing - no error and no change. Tried turning off RB for the drive and nothing. There is no protection switch on the drive, so nothing to break. Tried to restart, refomratting the drive - no joy.
Only, I could get a new drive because they are so cheap, but this one has a MicroSD in it like a separate disk drive, so I would keepHello

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePoliciesNote:

How much RAM does the computer have?
Ready Boost is designed to help computers will be a small amount of RAM, so if your computer has already 3 GB of RAM or more, you don't notice much of a difference.

Hello
1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
2. what exactly happens when you try to delete it?This is perhaps due to ReadyBoost enabled on drive D.
Try to turn it off and check what is happening.

I bought a Cruzer 16 GB USB to be able to use Windows ready boost. It worked the first two times that I've used. Now when I insert, I have no possibility to use the ready boost. Help?

Here is an article on how to enable Ready boost for vista: http://www.windowvistarepair.com/articles/Enable_Ready_Boost_for_Windows_Vista.html.
Here is a good article on how to use Ready Boost (with links to related topics):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/81381-readyboost.html.
Read what the above to understand the product and how to install, configure, troubleshoot and use it. This will give you the background you need to solve the problem.
Once done, then install Ready Boost and the USB key as if it were the first time (format the drive if you can unless you have data on it, you do not want to lose and don't want to take the time to move elsewhere to do the formatting, and then move it back once Ready Boost works again).
I hope this helps.

My laptop has Vista Home Premium.
Using the option "speed up my system" when I logged on my 8 GB Transcend USB, I've probably activated Ready Boost.
The USB was about 3.7 GB of data valuable personal (user - excel, word, jpg etc. files) also, but they are not visible or accessible more.
However, the USB shows through properties, 3.70 GB of used space.
Even after going to Option, properties of the removable disk, ReadyBoost, do not use this device, I'm not able to recover my original files.
Help, please.You can try to recover the data with data recovery software. If this does not work, the only other option is to send the drive to a professional data, which is quite expensive recovery company. Only you can decide how your "valuable personal data" are interesting. And it's one of the reasons why we do not use USB thumb as succession only permanent drives.
Data recovery software:
R - Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/
Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuvaProfessional data recovery - I use Drive Savers for my clients, but there are others. General prices run $500-$ 3 700 with an average of about $2,700. I understand that some insurance companies now cover the cost data recovery so check with your insurer.
