Readyboost and USB Flash memory

I'm using Vista and have just plugged in a USB Flash mem (Toshiba 1GB
preformatted) for the first time. I was transferring pics to the flash mem ok
until I got to around 200mb and then I received error 0x80070052 and was
unable to transfer any more pics, despite there still being close to 800mb
free on the stick.
I also noticed that Readyboost wanted to reserve 796mb for system speed but
I'd checked 'do not use this device'. (Note 200mb+796mb equates to capacity
of memory stick)

After searching on google I reformatted the flash mem as FAT and tried
transferring pics but again, at around 200mb I received the same error.

Today I've reformatted again but can now only transfer 150mb and Readyboost
now wants to reserve 850mb (though I've still chosen not to use it).

Given the flash mem is 1GB is it just a coincidence that the error message
is generated when the storage capacity of pics I've transferred + the amount
of mem Readyboost wants to reserve for system speed add up to around 1GB,
even though I'm choosing not to use Readyboost?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps

RE: Readyboost and USB Flash memory

After further searching on google I found someone who had a similar problem.
He fixed it by deleting everything from root on the memory stick, then
creating a folder and placing everything in the folder. I've tried the same
thing and it works ok.

Must have something to do with maximum root capacity, even though I did use
the memory stick on an older pc running Win 2000 and had no problems with
root capacity so maybe it's a Vista thing?

Re: Readyboost and USB Flash memory

Since ReadyBoost is a Vista feature, then it's a pretty good guess that's
why it didn't do this on W2K. :-)

By the way, this is a .Net programming group. These kinds of questions are
better posted to a group with "Windows" in the description. Just so you
know, for future reference.

Re: Readyboost and USB Flash memory

are ignorant of its nature. As we
know it to be false that numbers are finite, it is therefore true that there
is an infinity in number. But we do not know what it is. It is false that it
is even, it is false that it is odd; for the addition of a unit can make no
change in its nature. Yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even
(this is certainly true of every finite number). So we may well know that
there is a God without knowing what He is. Is there not one substantial
truth, seeing there are so many things which are not the truth itself?

We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are
finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are
ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits
like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because He
has neither extension nor limits.

But by faith we know His existence; in glory we shall know His nature. Now,
I have already shown that we may well know the existence of a thing, without
knowing its nature.

RE: Readyboost and USB Flash memory

And, therefore, as these words
passed, this was repeated, truth, truth! Her mind was so swallowed up
with a sense of the glory of God's truth and other perfections, that she
said, it seemed as though her life was going, and that she saw it was
easy with God to take away her life by discoveries of Himself. Soon
after this she went to a private religious meeting, and her mind was
full of a sense and view of the glory of God all the time. When the
exercise was ended, some asked her concerning what she had experienced,
and she began to give an account, but as she was relating it, it revived
such a sense of the same things, that her strength failed, and they were
obliged to take her and lay her upon the bed. Afterwards she was greatly
affected, and rejoiced with these words, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain! She had several days together a sweet sense of the excellency and
loveliness of Christ in His meekness, which disposed her continually to
be repeating over these words, which were sweet to her, meek and lowly
in heart, meek and lowly in heart. She once expressed herself to one of
her sisters to this purpose, that she had continued whole days and whole
nights, in a constant ravishing view of the glory of God and Christ,
having enjoyed as much as her life could bear. Once, as her brother was
speaking of the dying love of Christ, she told him, she had such a sense
of it, that the mere mentioning of it was ready to overcome her.

Once, when she came to me, she said,-that at such and s

rather than then. Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have

207. How many kingdoms know us not!

208. Why is my knowledge limited? Why my stature? Why my life to one hundred
years rather than to a thousand? What reason has nature had for giving me
such, and for choosing this number rather than another in the infinity of
those from which there is no more reason to choose one than another, trying
nothing else?

we are, powerless as we are, they will not aid us; we shall die alone. We

refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for
truth.
