does the thumb drive have the u3 software on it? If so get rid of it as that is the issue. Also are you removing the thumb drive from the computer or clicking safely remove and going that way? Most computers write to the usb in the background and it may not be all there if you do not first select the safely remove option.And Star Trek was just a tv show...yeah right! -
yes i safely remove hardware, what is the u3? is it part of the firmware download?if so why does it work on some and not on others?Comment

u3 is a piece of crap "autoexecute" file that starts the thumb drive. When installed into a windows computer it auto runs a program that the company puts on (auto open the windows explorer, auto run play mp3's.....) this can confuse some copiers and it does not allow the thumb drive to be recognized. Why it works on some and not another I have no idea. Google u3 remover and run it if you think it may have it then reload firmware and try again.And Star Trek was just a tv show...yeah right!Comment

I always remove and format ANY USB drive before I use it. When you buy them new, they've got all kinds of crap "auto backup" software on them and the like, that could interfere with firmware upgrades. Also, and for whatever reason, some brands of USB stick work better than others. I've been having good luck with the "PNY" brand.
