I know when you transfer music onto a flash drive using MacOS and then try to play it using iDrive, the first couple entires are random folders that are hidden on MacOS... So my advice would be to use Windows through Parallels/VMware, or an actual PC. Format the drive first using Windows, then copy the folder + file using Windows Explorer, NOT Finder. After that's done, eject the drive without letting MacOS find the device (because as soon as it does, it adds all those extras). Also, like everyone else is saying, give it a minute to load in your car. I can't imagine it not working because I think I've counted 3 (myself included) 09/08 build E90s (updating from 2009-1 maps) who've had a smooth update.
Absolutely incorrect, see my previous post on this there are no "hidden files" that would disable the install
