Description: Using ReadyBoost to speedup Windows Server 2008.

Solution
* JonusC made it possible to get Readyboost working on Windows Server 2008 x86: Tutorial. Note that this is still in the development phase, but if you are an experienced user you can do it.

Alternative
ReadyDriver Plus V1.1 - See the comment of imposter for more info.

Unfortunately readyboost isnt just disabled - Microsoft removed readyboost on purpose - im not sure, but looks like there was some stability issues so they removed it completely.
So far i ported ecache.sys and all of the registry entries from vista, but there is readyboost service called "EMDMgmt" which is started from svchost.exe and i cant move it from vista to 2008.If anyone have an idea how to do it, im open for ideas :)

For those craving the benefits of readyboost (as small as it may be), I may have an incomplete solution. You can downloaded a program called eBoostr, which you can find via google. It works in exactly the same way as readyboost, i.e. cache system. When installing the program, you must run the installer in compatibility mode -> Windows XP, as it is primarily meant for Windows XP. The program is 100% efficient even when installed through this method. The only problem is that vista doesnt recognise it as a signed driver.. dun dun duunnn. So the only way to be able to run this is via:

1) Finding a way to prevent signed signature driver check w/e
2) Manually disabling signed driver signature check, i.e. F8, disable.

It is also possible to disable driver signing without having to select the option in the F8 menu. Just go to start -> run -> cmd and execute the following command:
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS


More info on the Techpowerup.com Forums.

Doesn't the -set have to be /set ?

Besides, I don't think the old permanent disable config for driver signing doesn't work anymore with vista 64 SP1 and server 2008.

It doesn't work for me...
I found a program named drivercert:
http://drivercert.oxyhostsfree.com/

it signs drivers with test signatures and sets the testmode in bcdedit to "ON"
Bad thing is, in all 4 corners of the desktop there is a message: test mode....

I now tried ReadyDriver Plus V1.1
It is a bootloader, which automatically selects the option without signed drivers.
It is working for me now :)

Update on Robson:
German Forumdeluxx:
http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/showthr ... ght=robson


I got a 1GB Module now...
Unfortunately Alternate delivered a 512 MB Module than the ordered 1 GB...

I don't know why: There are 2 Modules on the Robson. Maybe only one is shown, maybe it is really 512 MB.
I am now able to use it as a USB Stick...

First thought: FUCK, thats fast....

€: Unfortunately, the Robson is recognised as a Harddisc. Eboostr doesnt create Cache Storages on HDs...
I wrote an email to the company:
Quote:
I have an Intel Robson Module and I am able to use it as a Harddisc. Windows can write and read, the speed is incredible. Much faster than a USB Stick.
Is it possible to get eboostr making a cachestorage on a Harddisc?
I know, normally this is deactivated because HD's are too slow. But the Robson Modules speed is incredible: Average 214,4 MB/sec average. Access Time 0,2 ms.
