Readyboost Stopped working? How to get readyboost working again Monday, 12/07/2010 by nik

Have you got a USB stick using windows readyboost. Then it stopped working and no matter what you try (formatting it, testing again) it won't give the readyboost option again and won't start working. This little registry tweak will fix the problem.

Format the flash drive and remove it from your computer. Go to the following registry value by running "regedit"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt

Remove all the sub values (they look like folders) that are there. They usually are in the form:

_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_Multi&Prod_Flash_Reader&Rev_1.00#058F0O1111B&0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}BOOST_1517140716]

Actually - of you can figure out which ones apply to just the stick you have a problem with just delete those.

You may have several of lines.

Then re-insert the flash memory stick.

In my experience at this point I am offered to start using readyboost on the USB stick again, so you may not need the following steps - however:

Re-open regedit and change the following values in the memory stick settings Vista has just created.

"CacheSizeInMB"=dword:000003c0

"CacheStatus"=dword:00000001

"DeviceStatus"=dword:00000002

Then close regedit and right-click the memory stick drive from "my computer". Go to the ReadyBoost tab and set the cache size as you like.
