I would like to use ramdisk for readyboost.

I would like to use ramdisk for readyboost for some tests.
Now I modify Ramdisk of Microsoft to removable device and its capacity becomes up to 512MB.
but Readyboost Tab in the property of Ramdisk is not activated like a USB drive. And autoplay is also not activated. I think I missed something for removable device, but I don’t know what it is.
Any suggestions on how to make Ramdisk enable to readyboost?

Thanks!!

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO SOMETHING THIS STUPID? The OS does a
very good job of caching files, and uses available memory to do it, so
using a ramdisk is just hurting performance. Second, the OS assumes the
readyboost is permanent storage, which a ramdisk is not. So your idea will
make the OS slower and and unreliable.
