We recommend checking the old USB drive using diagnostic utilities, since the failure could have been caused by its malfunction. If a new drive is to be used, it is critical to select it by volume: it must be no smaller than the old one. The brand, model and type of the drive (USB-2.0, USB-3.0) do not matter, but it is recommended to use any proven, well-known brands. The USB drive with the new image can be installed in any USB connector, but do not forget to disconnect the old one.
