    Just ignore it. Its a microsoft thing where the operating system is looking at the USB stick to see if it can use it to make a speed performance improvement by using the USB stick in some fancy way. If you are just storing data on it you aren't interested anyway.

    Just do it, if its the test I'm thinking of it does nothing to the USB stick except to leave a small file on it and even if it passes you still have the option to cancel.

    Assuming this is the ReadyBoost test?
