Boottrace

Told you I'd break something else. I changed my prefetch and superfetch setting in the reg to 2 instead of 3. Tired of my hard drive thrashing all the time to preload memory that didn't always load what I always use. I cleaned out my prefetch folder except for the layout file to make it fresh with new settings. Problem is I accidentally deleted the readyboot folder as well for the boot traces. How do I fix this? I have my system set up to make an image every night. I could go back and restore it, but I would like to know how to do it myself. Do I just make a new folder and call it ReadyBoot like it was in the prefetch folder?

Hi Shane,  I appreciate your reply but I was talking about the readyboot folder in the prefetch folder, not readyboost.

Personally I turn it off. I hate the hard drive thrashing it does.

It should remake it itself though.

Reboot a few times and see :wink:

I rebooted several times and it has not remade itself. Thats why I recreated the readyboot folder myself, still no traces in it though. My boot time went from, hope you follow me on this, the bar that scrolls along while vista is booting, it would run 6 times before boot, now it's 38 times. Now I know this could also be due to changing prefetch and superfetch to boot files only value #2(same as you, I hate the hard drive thrashing). Just trying to figure out how to get the traces going again.
