Detect if flash drive is readyboost drive?

I'm trying to duplicate a small flash drive by first copying the
contents into memory, then asking the user to insert a new flash drive,
then I copy back onto that.

Before I start I list all removable drives that aren't CD's or floppy
drives, and when I find one, I'd like to make sure it's not being used
as a readyboost drive on vista. Readyboost drives show in vista
explorer as just that, a readyboost drive. I've tried
getVolumeInformation api call thinking Readyboost would be the volume
name but not so, it's blank and the flag values that I see don't
mention readyboost.

Anyone know where else to look? I've searched google and groups and
haven't found a thing that relates.
