Readyboost

[Robbie]

I have enabled ready boost (2GB) on my Sancruzer USB but my Acer Laptop
stalls on startup if the Sancruzer is plugged in (the ACER screen appears and
the progress bar gets about 3/4 complete). Am I supposed to remove it prior
to start up?

Unpluging/plugging should not be required - various devices act differently
since USB iniitalized each on/off cycle. Suggest you try a different
device.

You are certainly not supposed to remove it prior to start up since one of
its principle functions is to keep track of activity for the first 90
seconds after startup in order to improve the Vista Prefetch functionality.

SanDisk Cruizer's usually work fine with Vista Readyboost. I agree with AJR,
there could be a problem with this particular device. You can also try to
reformat it and reinstall Readyboost onto it.
