Hi Asmita

I had already tried all of the suggested steps, without success, but I remembered seeing another thread which suggested using a different flash drive, so I did just that and all went fine.  I am now up and running again, but for others who might have the same problem it's worth trying another flash drive (possibly the first was a USB3 and the second a USB2 but I'm not sure)

Anyway, thanks for your quick response.
