I studied the "long solution(s)" but
did it in other way :
i could Unallocate the whole USB stick
in XP on my other PC , and then i formatted it
(choices where FAT or FAT32).
I Vista i then could format it to NTFS
Then the "Readyboost screen" came up
BUT as Anmor said : not all USB sticks
are Ready Boost compatible.
i did find a Ready Boost compatible chart
(googled) and probably will buy a new one
my RAM is 2 gig so i will buy a 4 GB one
(ready boost compatible)
