I don't think you can go from the HDD to the memory stick. Is the stick in the USB in the glovebox? I do know you can't go from the 6FL slot in the armrest to the HDD.

The files that you download from the Idrive HDD to USB can only be used to upload back. The format that they are saved in, don't allow to be played on a computer. Besides this, some USB sticks are not compatible with the USB port in the glove box therefore they are not "seen" by the Idrive.
