Note:
Some USB Flash Drives* are reported not to work, The reason for this is not fully understood, However the following Tips are known to help :-
- Ensure no other USB devices are connected
- Do not use a USB extender cable
- Removing all other files / re-formatting can prevent file fragmentation
- Try both USB ports (HDR)
- Last Resort, Try a different USB Flash Drive
