I just bought a PNY SD cadr to use with ready boost. The problem is that it
will not work at all. When i put it in my computer in my integrated reader,
(a 32Meg SD card will work) it comes up with 0 bytes used and 0 bytes open.
It wont read write or format, it keeps erroring out. So i tried it on my dads
XP based laptop and it works fine. What gives is it a bug in vista, cause it
sucks that I cant use my card.

Im pretty Smart with computers but I even need help sometimes. Thats why im

Hi I realy like readyboost my t23 laptop is really super fast with vista. I
used a 1gig
usb flash drive, $19@Bestbuy, IT added some 500MB to my CPU catch which
was only 2MB. THIS HAS SOLD ME ON VISTA other stuff is like dressed up XP.

Some cards and controllers just don't like each other. This is a further
problem as the OS drivers also play a role in this. And the drivers in Vista
will sometimes not like a card that XP would use just fine on the same
computer. This is also reversed as we have had cards that XP didn't like and
Vista sees perfectly on the same computer.

Take the card back and try to find another brand. So far we have had the
best luck with SanDisk SD/CompactFlash/USB with Vista. Other brands have
been almost a 50/50 chance. As Vista is released look for Flash memory
devices to show Vista certification, esepcially for ReadyBoost.

Good luck,
