    Which USB Stick for flashing?

    Unfortunately my ET7000 sticks when starting. I need to re-flash and for this to purchase a new usb stick. .

    I note that the flashing instructions state that "A USB stick formatted to FAT32. (Preferably genuine Kingston and no larger than 8GB in size to prevent compatibility issues while flashing the image).""

    The only Kingston usb stick smaller than 8GB that I can find are extremely expensive. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced compatible usb?

    Many thanks

    Use Image Manager to couch flash. Just pop the image into your box via ftp and voila.

    .... don't forget that the ET7000 is EOL, so no download feeds available. If you can use an imagebackup, then life could be a lot easier.

    Actually, that's not the case.

    It depends when "Sticks at startup" actually happens. So you can't ftp to the box?
