Crispytato,
Take the 2 gig stick and format it as fat not fat32.
Unzip the files onto your hard drive. take the file DS1000EUpdate.RGL ONLY and put just that file on the memstick. No folders just that single file.
Eject / safely remove the device to make sure windows closes the file properly on the memstick.
Plug it into the scope while the power is on and make sure you can see the file in the file menu.
Remove the memstick, power off the scope, install the memstick, power on the scope.
After it boots you should get a message to upgrade, just follow the prompts.
HTH,
Jeff
Thanks for the input Jeff. I have followed that exact procedure, with a number of different flash drives, and I have had no success at all. The file is read, I can rename it, and view it (only in the "Disk Management" view, not when I look at the "external" menu, like where you'd normally see captured waveforms) I have tried FAT16 on all of these sticks too. I was wondering if maybe it's windows 8.1 causing a problem with it's implementation of fat file system. I shall have a try at using a Windows XP virtual machine later on and seeing if that makes a difference. It doesn't seem to want to take at all, regardless of the circumstances

Perhaps if someone could send me the standard update file for the 1052e, I can try and see if the stock one will be recognized, or maybe edit it's hex if the scope will see it.

I am considering buying a super low capacity flash drive and giving that a go. maybe a 512 or 256 mb part by a reputable manufacturer - which will no doubt cost significantly more than a 16gb would off the shelf at this point...
