dv6700t Ricoh Card Reader and Vista

Hi, was wondering if anybody who has a 6700 has experienced anything like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeKlE3BlV0o

The situation is moving a large (over 400 meg) file from a SD card to the hard drive (or USB drive). It slows the system up, and totally screws with the audio.

I came across it after going insane over the fact that my audio was being screwed up and it seemed like it was Readyboost causing it.

Writing to card seems to be fine, and reading and writing from a USB drive is fine as well.

I tried it without drivers installed, just default Vista support, and the current drivers off the HP site. I also tested it with different SD cards (only SD/SDHC, don't have any others). I also tried it on a similar, AMD version at work today and it happened there as well.

We also put the card into a desktop with Vista and it didn't cause a problem.

So I'm wondering if anyone a 6700 or laptop with a Ricoh card reader could give it a try. Put a large file on the card, play some music, and try copying the file from the card. Smaller files seem to transfer without issue, not sure how big the file has to be.

I'm just kind of curious if it is a Vista thing or is it a incompatibility thing between the reader and Vista.

Also just to make sure it wasn't a hardware problem, or at least lowering the chances I live booted into Ubuntu and tried the same thing, no problems: link.

Thanks!

 

Hi

do you have SP1? these have the fixes for transfering files.

Also disable the readyboost service if your not using it.

 

Yep on SP1, and I just disabled and stopped the service and get the same result.
