I have a 16gb flash drive that I installed to and booted without any problem. However when I try to get the latest updates I get an error about half way through the process. When creating the install I chose to have about 4Gb reserved for persistence. Should I have made this larger? I was trying to reserve some space on my flash drive to keep and transfer some of my personal files. (music and pictures mainly) Is this possible?

Thanks

Yup, you should have made the persistence space larger. The 4gig is the minimal install, thus will not hold on for more to come in (such as updates). I have tried that in my machine once, when I still dual-boot with XP. It was very frustrating that it did not update. Try 6gig or 10.
