I created an update package but I cannot get it working. When I try to select for updates, I get "The USB Flash Drive has not been detected. Make sure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port, or try using a different flash drive."

I must have reseated the flash drive about ten times. I have ver. 4.09. Otherwise, the unit boots up just fine.

The problem WAS my 8GB flash drive. Thanks to all. I purcha$ed a 2GB fla$h drive and that problem i$ $olved. When owning an airplane, there are ju$t $ome thing$ that never end.

As an aside I discovered that the iFjy is smart enough to recognize more than one update package on the USB drive and they can be loaded individually one after another. That way you can break down your updates into smaller packages (sub 2Gb each). The update files will be called iflyupdatepackage.zip, iflyupdatepackage(1).zip, iflyupdatepackage(2).zip etc... Then each can beloaded individually without the intermediate step of transferring each update to the USB drive and making sure it is renamed to "iflyupdatepackage.zip". The other numbered names work good as they are and can coexist on the USB drive happily until the iFly uploads them before erasing them off the external USB device.
