I want to install PS3UPDAT.PUP on my new PS3 hard drive, I wanted to find out if I can use any USB flash drive for installation?
Last time I used a Kingston USB flash drive and the console couldn't read the USB drive.

First you'll need a 32GB or smaller USB drive. Then use one of the many free FAT32 USB drive formatting tools available to format the drive to FAT32. From there make sure you create the correct directory structure (as indicated on Sony's firmware download page) for placement of the firmware file, and that's it.
