Ready Boost Cache Problems

Ok.... i have read all that I can find on this website and others. When I
put in my SD Card, it gives me the option to speed up my syatem. When I try,
it sayd there is a cache on another drive and to remove that one first. i do
not have anything else plugged into the computer. i may have set up my thumb
drive for Ready boost, I cant remember. When I try and put it in, it also
says there is a cache on another drive. Is there anyway to Reset Readyboost
to get rid of the other drive etc...?

I suggest that you do not bother with Ready Boost: very few, if any,
computers will materially benefit from Ready Boost, and the probability
of errors is magnified versus the native Vista.

Ready Boost is a waste of time. The only time it seems to help is if you
have the minimum required RAM. You're much better off buying more RAM.
