Ford Sync Update Usb

I have been trying to install the new Sync update without success. Not sure if it's software, the car's USB ports or the two particular thumb drives I've tried.
Yesterday I tried playing music from thumb drive 1 and got an error message that the device was unreadable. I also found that the USB ports would only charge my BlackBerry intermittently, disconnecting every few seconds.
Today I tried the sync update with another USB drive. The update process began and it was reading the cabs and zips fine, showing 1 through 7 (of 8) downloads starting and finishing. The system then seemed to reboot, followed by a message, 'Problem detected with USB storage device. Please contact Sync support or try to download the update again. Remove the USB storage device to cancel this update.'

I tried again on the car's other USB port with the same result.
Can anyone offer me any tips?
