@balaji.bandi Just out of curiosity, and since there seem to be different 'opinions': where did you get that information (>4GB) ?

I seem to recall that it has to be LESS than 4GB.

[balaji.bandi]

Not sure if i could get the information correctly - 4GB and 8GB work and are available in the market? 

or you looking for cisco documentation?

Hello,

make sure you are using an USB stick no larger than 2GB, formatted with FAT 16 and a cluster allocation size of 16 or 32K (not 64)...

[quinterc1]

My friend,

USB drive is 2Gb format in FAT16.

[Georg Pauwen]

And the cluster allocation size, is that 16K ?
