It's my first video and I hope you like it! I also hope it helped! Oh and sorry the video is in a small resolution. I didn't know how to make it higher... Oh, and yes I know I forgot to tell you what to type in.. My mind was somewhere else. When you bring up the little run box, type in regedit. And the registry should come up... Sorry about that people. And please subscribe comment and rate! Thank you all! Oh and also, I forgot to mention I'm not actually using an external hard drive, I'm using a borrowed USB flash-drive from my friend. But I'm sure It will work for an external hard drive.

  • well dose the drive have to be in FAT32 format?>?

  • No, it doesn't have to be. The drive I tried it on was a NTFS.

  • I know this might sound stupid but...

    Is there a way to use readyboost on an internal hard drive?

    Or is there a way to relocate the prefetch?

  • Well... No, your internal drive is your main drive. Containing the operating system. And even if you had a second internal hard drive it wouldn't work. Because ready boost is for USB drives. I mean, if you can find a 500 GB external hard drive. Then it should work.

  • I just want to prefetch to a faster drive.

  • I'm not sure if you can do that. But I'd just buy more RAM. Or just use readyboost if you have vista. Vista also has superfetch too.

see all
