Quick Question on verification that Vista Readyboost is working

I just purchased an OCZ Rally 2 2GB flash drive to work with Vista readyboost. The packages says "Supports Readyboost" so i assume that this drive was made after Nov 2006 (as these drives supports Vista Readyboost). After inital insertion, i get the dialog box asking if i want to use this drive to speed up the system, to which i said yes. I have the drive set up for 1890 MB and intially Vista put a Readyboost cache file on the drive.

After restaring my computer, there is NO cache file on the USB drive. It is reporting that 2GB are free???? If i do right click and go into the readyboost tab, it still shows that i am using this device with a setting of 1890 MB.

Am i doing anything wrong, i have tried to switch USB ports, format with FAT, NTFS, FAT 32 and after every restart the cache file is gone. Currently i have the USB drive set to FAT 32 with 4 K cluster size.

It usually takes a few minutes for readyboost to kick in and rewrite the file after a restart. First priority is to load up the OS, second priority is to fill RAM via superfetch, and readyboost comes after that.
