When I insert a USB disk, I can not find the readyboost function.
Why?
The USB disk is compatible for readyboost.

Right-click the drive and select Properties.
There's a ReadyBoost tab present unless Vista has determined that the USB
drive is not capable.

You can right click on the drive and select properties. There should be a
readyboost tab. Click on this to set the USB disk up for readyboost. I have
to admit, i'm not overly impressed with readyboost. I have two USB disks
that are readyboost compatible and, yet, in most cases, Vista says they are
not suitable. The next time i insert the disk into the USB port readyboost
is actually offered and can be used. If i then were to remove the USB disk
and re-instert it, readyboost says, again, that the drive isn't suitable.
Readyboost actually adds a file to the USB disk (when it is functioning
correctly) so i cannot see why readyboost keeps saying, yes the USB disk is
ok and then the next time No the disk isn't ok for readyboost.
Also don't expect to see immediate results because you won't. If you have
more that 1GB memory readyboost isn't worth the effort. It is more suitable
for PCs with 512MB of memory.

where tf is the disable? according to help when I insert a usb device I
should get the autorun - which I do - but under general options I should be
able to "click Speed up my system" so WHERE IS THIS OPTION? there is no such
option listed.
ok so I can also (according to this post) right click the disk and select
properties and then the readyboost tab, fine can do that BUT THERE IS NO WAY
OF DISABLING all there is on that tab is details of using readyboost
so I am stuck now with the situation where if I want to use this device to
copy a file before I can remove I have to power down my machine.
THANKS A BUNCH microshit
and this is just a minor problem compared with some of what is happening on
this (WOW) of an OS - he only WOW factor I have come across
is.................
ummmm............
is................er.................well................NOTHING
jesus, its SLOWER than XP, it doesnt seem able to utilise multi processors,
it crashes 10 times more often than XP,
well you real users know what I mean, not the sycophants that write the
magazines

Sounds like the problem lays between the keyboard and the chair.
Instead of coming in with an attitude, why don't you just ask a question?

When I received my Crucial 4GB Gizmo Jr ReadyBoost capable Flash Drive I was
nonplussed: the package contained a key fob chain and a neck lanyard but
apparently no flash drive. When I eventually discovered it, I could hardly
believe how small it was. The whole width and thickness of it inserts INTO
the USB socket, with just some length protruding. Think of a postage stamp
folded in half lengthwise - altogether too losable to be really handy. Then
I remembered that my Belkin PCI card has a fifth internal port where I have
now inserted it and have it set to 100% ReadyBoost which shows up as 3,930
MB. I can't say that I have noticed anything going faster, but nothing seems
to have slowed down. I believe I read that Vista attempts to calculate
whether the device confers a benefit before offering the ReadyBoost tab, so
I have some expectation of a gain, but I can't affirm that it has been money
well spent. Doug

Loose the attitude and get an answer! The original post was a nasty rant, at
best.
