INCREASE CAPACITY OF YOUR FLASH DIRVE BY CHANGING ITS FORMAT TO NTFS

There are many kinds of File Systems such as FAT, FAT 32 and NTFS but one of the main advantage of the NTFS file system that it has a compression option. Which means if you copy a File with the Size of 50MB in a Drive with Compression enabled NTFS File System it may take only 30MB.


The file system of Pen Drives are usually FAT and if you don’t Have the NTFS option on your Pen Drive’s provided software then do the following:
1. Go to Start ->Run -> cmd and press enter.
2. Type convert X: /FS:NTFS ( Where X is your Pen Drive Letter)





The File System is now converted to NTFS. Now its time to enable compression:


1. Go to My Computer and Right Click on your Pen Drive Icon and select Properties.
2. Select Compress Drive to Save Disk Space and then OK.





3. Then Select Apply To Sub Folders and Files and select ok ( if Asked)





All Done, the free space of the pen drive will increase and if you copy anything in the drive it will take less space.

How to use pen drive as ram memory in windows7

Hi friends, Windows 7 and Windows vista comes with a ready boost option. Q-What is ready boost
Ans- "ReadyBoost is a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows, first introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista in 2006 and bundled with Windows 7 in 2009. It works by usingflash memory, a USB flash drive, SD card, CompactFlash,external hard drive or any kind of portable flash mass storage system as a cache. ReadyBoost is also used to facilitateSuperFetch, which allows it to perform analysis of boot-time disk usage patterns and creates a cache which is used in subsequent system boots." Source
If you are using a high configuration PC, It doesn't show any effect on speed because if you are a normal user I think only a few times you use your full ram memory but if you are using an old pc with low ram memory(Like 512 MB or IGB) and harddisk & using vista or 7. It speed up your PC and you will see the result, reduced application data loading time, reduced shutdown and restart time and many more you can't imagine without High ram memory. How to use this feature
Plug in your pendrive-> Format with NTFS or FAT32
Now go to properties->Select ReadyBoost
Check Use this device->Choose maximum space to reserve system speed
Click on Apply and OK. Your readyboost PenDrive is ready Now to Use.
