[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1439884, member: 25186"] yep. Figured it out. The permissions that get tagged on the 2 offending files are not POSIX compliant and Windows doesn't handle them well in conjunction with the way drives are formatted with the Windows disk utility. There is a good chance that if you have a USB drive that still has the "factory" format, the entire process will just work. You might want to try a "freshie" first. Here's what worked ( since I usually format and encrypt any removable media that I use): On a mac... Rename the file before downloading/saving. Download the file. 16GB drive. Reformat the drive with disk utility ( exfat) Copy file to USB BEFORE trying to open it. I used Stuffit Expander to expand because that is what they call out in their "instructions" Expand onto USB drive. Copy newly uncompressed files/folders onto the root of the USB drive. Eject Install in truck. Any other order of operations would fail on windows or mac. I have a feeling that doing it in this exact order avoids the POSIX translation challenges that everyone seems to have when flipping files from unix to linux to windows. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
