Ready Boost should just stay configured / dedicated after you do it for the first time.. Exception to the rule being if you unplug the Flash Drive and use it in another system the Ready Boost cache will get removed and you will have to do it again, same applies even if you are multi booting using the same computer.
Have you tried using Ready Boost with an SD card instead ?
Actually I havent tried it. I would need to get some USB adapter as I dont have slot for the SD card on my desk PC...

HI,
I know I will get flamed about using ReadyBoost at all but let me just fishing saying, in the system I just built for my wife it make a WORLD of difference. Call it the Placebo effect...
A dedicated ReadyBoost flash drive, running win 7 defaults to preset properties. Of concern to me is the DEFAULT policy for drive removal of a solid state flash, which is restricted to a pair of radio buttons. The first, "Quick Removal mode" IS the DEFAULT where write-cashing is DISABLED....
On my HP G50-112NR Notebook, 32bit, I inserted a 16G Verbatim USB flash drive to learn about ReadyBoost. I clicked on "Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost," thinking that I could change my mind later and "undo" it. I can't!! The USB had a few files on it & Properties shows they are still there....
Hey all I just came upon the concept of using readyboost with my computer since I usually run quite a few programs in the background while I'm gaming. I know it wont help much but just a little increase in performance is better than nothing.
I was just curious how much memory can be used on 1...
