Why this flash drive cannot be used for loan boost in windows 7?

I have a flash drive 8 GB Kingston which is useless, but functional. I decided to use it to boost lending. So, when I go to ready boost in windows 7, it says this drive cannot be used as ready boost I've tried several times but the same answer. When I try to use it as ready boost preview of consumer windows it says OK. I have set up as ready boost. I also format and then try but same answer in windows 7. How can I use this disk as ready boost in windows 7?

Sometimes the reader is not fast enough for Readyboost. BTW: How much memory you have in your PC? You can even no need for ReadyBoost.

But, to force Windows to use ReadyBoost (even with a slow flash drive): http://www.mstechpages.com/2010/10/12/force-readyboost-on-a-usb-device/

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Product key for win 8 doesn't work no-error: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

    I bought a copy of windows 8 for the upgrade to windows 7 from the Microsoft store. I need to reinstall the hard drive on this machine, but when I download the installer of windows 8 on another machine to try to create a bootable USB I get an error message when I put in the product key (which I paid for) who says: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.

    How can I get this problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    Ideally, there are two types of product keys: key to retail version key upgrade and full. The key to upgrade is used to upgrade the version of the operating system when you have the lower version of the operating system already installed on the system, for example, if you have already installed Windows 7 system, you can use the upgrade of Windows 8 to upgrade (override) currently installed Windows 7 to Windows 8. This product key cannot be used to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a bootable for installing Windows 8 from scratch.

    However, the key of the full version allows to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a Windows 8 boot disk to install a full version of the operating system.

    According to your description, you have reinstalled the hard drive on your machine and want to install Windows 8 by creating a bootable. Thus, you will always have the above error message while downloading executable files for Windows 8.

    There are two options you can try to install Windows 8 on your system:

    • Replace the key with a key to the version upgrade complete on the Microsoft Store and follow the procedure as you said in your post. You will not get the error message given.
    • If you have the Windows 7 installation media, you can try to install Windows 7 on the reinstalled hard drive. After activating this operating system, you can try to upgrade to Windows 8 by using the product key that you have already purchased.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • My flash drive which was a backup of my system windows has been accidentally immersed in water. When it is dry can still be used without destroying my USB port?

    My flash drive which was a backup of my system windows has been accidentally immersed in water.  When it is dry can still be used without destroying my USB port?

    Hello

    Put it in a bag of rice for a few days or more. -seal the bag.

    If you remove all the moisture, it shouldn't affect the USB ports if nothing is
    possible. Usually it is not a problem if the moisture is removed.

    I hope this helps.

  • Error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.

    Original title: what is NTFS?
    When you try to do a full up, I get the error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.  My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

    What is NTFS?

    What type of disc to I use to make a backup?

    Hi Heather_604,

    There are two ways you can do: you can convert the external hard drive to NTFS, or you can format the external hard drive to NTFS.

    Personally, I suggest that you format the external hard drive, but this will remove all data from the drive. Temporarily, you can copy what is on the hard drive on your C: drive if you have enough free space (or DVD) - once the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, you can copy everything back.

    Examine everything under view all. also check How can I add a new HDD? If Vista not recognize the external drive in see computer management - disk, the link create and format a hard disk partition management:

    If you want to convert the external hard drive to NTFS, see the link in my original answer and:

    If you convert the drive to NTFS, I always recommend that you copy the existing data, as I described for the formatting of the disk, just in case...

    I downloaded the windows Upgrade Wizard 8.

    Then I discovered my product key with keyfinder.

    I ran windows Update and it allowed me to download the update, which means my Windows 8 is authentic then why I am not able to install windows 8.

    I'll be able to install the kernel of windows 8 with Windows 8 iso pro?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Windows 8 that came with your PC is OEM type license and is one you want to install the retail type license. Two licenses have different installation keys, so commercial version will not accept EM key and vice versa.
    In addition, Windows 8 Pro key is different from Windows 8 "Core" key. You may not use the button either.
  • How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

  • Toshiba 32 GB Flash Drive and locking software for Ubuntu

    I bought a 32 GB Toshiba Usb Flash Drive, which comes with a lock. Works great under Vista, but if I stick in my Ubuntu desktop-driven, the files on the disk can be viewed or copied or deleted, so the software that comes with the drive is pretty useless as collateral.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi Gumnut,

    What Toshiba flash drive you exactly, because there are different models on the market? I m not owner of this flash drive but for as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support Linux, so this software will not work on Linux, so the reader isn't locked.

    You can also contact Toshiba. I found an email address on the Toshiba memory product page:

  • USB Flash drive can be used only on 1 computer?

    I have the Cruzer Blade Flash Drive 8 GB USB key.

    It seems that I can use it only on a single computer. I am running Windows XP Home SP3.

    When I try to copy files to the flash drive on the second computer, I get an error message.

    "You are currently on a guest PC you can not create a new online backup. '.

    Please notify.

    DRM

    I decided to call your Technical Support number.

    1-866-SANDISK (726-3475)

    First thing I asked was if I could copy files on the flash drive using SanDisk Secure Access Manager on multiple computers? He said: "Certainly."

    So, then I explained that I was getting the error I described above on computer 2.

    He had me try again. I copied a single 24KO file and this time there was no errors.

    Naturally, I am always intrigued by the error message I received last week. It was agreed that the text of the error message is misleading and can indicate a variety of problems such as a bad sitting flash drive for corrupted data or a user error is a copy & paste or click on & drag. He recommended to click & drag as the best option.

    I make backups more before this closing. But so far so good.
