hp t5700 and flash drive

[cakegetter]

hey guys I have a 8gb flash drive and was just wondering how can I use it as virtual memory for my thin client. I have a 256/256 and I have to restart it every morning because I always run out of virtual memory. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It cannot be converted into the flash drive, if this was possible then everyone would have been using this type of cheap Flash drives. If it will be possible in future then i will let you all know.

This link is old, but so is your TC!

maybe you can try to relocate your pagefile to the thumb drive. It might not work because of how XP initialized USB ports on startup (same reason you can't boot from a USB harddrive/flash image without a workaround).

I may be wrong, but isn't the pagefile disabled by default on TC's with write filter enabled? Dunno why you would be getting VM errors. (EDIT: read my own link, answer my own question; "VM is never actually disabled... pagefile size is set to 0")

please post your results, this would be nice to know about. keep in mind, though, running a pagefile on a flash drive will likely shorten the life of the flash mem considerably. It would still be a neat trick, though.

This won't solve the memory issue, however, the following free utility will automatically restart XPe for you.

Or you can schedule a daily reboot without running another program and using more memory:
