I just bought a [Kingston Data Traveler 2 GB USB Drive (DTI/2GB)](http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Traveler-Drive-DTI-2GB/dp/B000ERAON2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199049110&sr=8-1). I tried to use Vista ReadyBoost on it and I got an error.

After doing a search on “Vista” in the [product reviews](http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-content-search/results/ref=cm_srch_q_rtr/?query=vista&search-alias=community-reviews-realtime&x=0&y=0&idx.asin=B000ERAON2), I discovered that some people could use ReadyBoost and some could not. Is there something I must do first? Format it?
