| 571293 | 2007-07-22 02:29:00 | yeah except Vista gets unstable when I try it, I can't get safely remove hardware to work if I want to remove the flash drive, and it was quite difficult to convince windows not to do it again everytime I plugged the drive back in making the drive unusable for quite a while while it got set up again. The "boost isn't really noticeable anyway, I recommend avoiding this as a gimmick. Edit: oh and you can't use any USB stick - it has to be bigger than 256M and have a high enough transfer speed, vista tests the drive when you try to do it |

| 571295 | 2007-07-22 02:47:00 | yeah sorry read that afterwards - still if it's not much use on a usb stick that passes the test it won't be any better on a slow one you have to tweak windows in order to use | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 571296 | 2009-01-05 23:35:00 | I installed ReadyBoost on my Sony 4Gb memory stick, and it has just about fillled up my stick, I only have 17 Kb left. I don't think it was worth all the effort, and now wish to cancel and restore my sticks' memory available to the original value, but can't see how to remove it ? Help pls. |

Welcome to PressF1 :) You have to disable Readyboost on that flash drive before the file will go away. Here's how: www.informationweek.com H0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=198500307&pgno=2&_requestid=650835 |

| 571298 | 2009-01-06 06:25:00 | It boosts performance on slow computers, on fast ones the improvement is minimal. | SuSu (12582) | ||

Here's how: www.informationweek.com H0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=198500307&pgno=2&_requestid=650835 Thank you, but the options to "Do Not Use This Device " or "Use This Device" no longer appear in the ReadyBoost tab in the device Properties. |
