Trying to create recovery media for my chromebook. I get to the bit where it says insert a usb device, which I do 16GB stick, which is recognised in drive, the usb is not available in the recovery  utilities drop down menu.

The only options available in the menu are SanDisk Cruzer 3.6GB or Kingston DataTraveler 7.3GB.

Does this mean you can only use these two options? The recovery utility says it should be an 8GB USB.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
