ReadyBoost
I just installed a SanDisk 4GB Flash Drive, and enabled ReadyBoost, via the dialog that appeared. In less than a minute, there was a BSOD, and on reboot it took an exceptionally long time to reach the login screen. From that point on, the system seems normal, but I haven't noticed any particular improvements yet. When I went to System Properties, it still shows only 2GBs of memory installed, which is what it already had.
When I view My Computer, it shows the drive totally in red vs blue as the other drives, and when I got to the flash drive in the file manager, the only thing that I see related is something called ReadyBoost.sfcache besides some files and folders for the drive's U3 function. I'm trying to figure how to confirm that it is actually doing what it is supposed to? How is that done?
EDIT: The BSOD that I mentioned was caused by hal.dll + 12903, whatever that means.
