Note 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
