[Elecraft] PX3 & thumb drive...

[John Evans]

One thing you might try is use Windows disk management in the 
administrative tools section of control to partition the large thumb 
drive with a first fat32 partition that is 2 or 4 GB - if your whole 
drive is fat32 you should just be able to shrink it down to a size that 
may work.  If it isn't fat32, delete the partition and create a smaller 
partition that is.  Then you can create a 2nd or more partitions after 
that one for NTFS or whatever.

I had an issue where a thumb drive was needed to upgrade firmware in an 
Agilent digital scope but we didn't have appropriate thumb drives, so I 
took a 1 TB USB spinning hard drive and partitioned with the first 
partition being a small fat32 partition with the firmware cab file and 
it worked great.

If you try this and it works, please let us know.
