Instructions say to use Win32 Disk Imager (which I am). I downloaded the IMG file I need (it doesn’t have a .IMG extension ). When I open Win32 Disk Imager and browse to the download directory where the file is, Win32 Disk Imager doesn’t “see” it. Here’s the actual download directory:

Hi @steven.bertles,

Could you please take a look at the below ideas:

  1. Please kindly refer to the following link for Win32 Disk Imager and see if it can help resolve the issue.
    Link: https://win32diskimager.org/
  2. Right-click on the MGOS file > select Properties > go to the Security tab > click on SYSTEM, and provide a screenshot of this tab.
  3. If the error still occurs, try using another computer and see if you can load the file.

Thanks,

if the Win32 Disk is not working for you, you can also download Raspberry Pi OS – Raspberry Pi and use that to write the customer file to the usb drive
