Sandisk SD card ReadyBoost

07-03-2006, 01:29 PM

Can anyone walk me thru the install procedure for using the 512 Sandisk SD
card as ReadyBoost? I've tried it with my cruzer mini, and Ipod and it works
fine. No go with the SD card for some reason, and the store won't take it
back.

Thanks!

Believe it's designed to work "Only" with USB interface. SD and
Memory Stick devices do not utilize USB channels, but have their
own pathway onto the System Bus.

It could also be a speed issue. None of my SD cards(Kingston,Sandisk,
Generic) are fast enough to be used for ReadyBoost.
Your IPod was fast enough to use as ReadyBoot??? That is the shuffle?

This might sound dumb, but what is ReadyBoost?
