Readyboost Stole My Memory

[ariesram74]

I was using Readyboost. Then I reset the properties to not use readyboost with my flashdrive and somehow I am now missing over 1gb of space. I guess my question is where did it go and how do i get it back?

I also have this file on the thumbdrive:

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You

may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended

that you continue.

Windows will now check the disk.

A quick format of the drive will reclaim that space.
