You can just burn the folder "ps3" containing the update folder and file to a dvd/cd and the console will check the Blu ray drive for the update file also.

i burned the update file on a blank dvd ps3\update folder but it didn't find it.

You should just bite the bullet and buy a new usb stick. I'm not sure about other countries, but here a 1gb flash is very cheap now.

i now but if you are in front of your pc you search for quick way and gain some knowledge.

Did you try updating from the recovery menu or just the Update option in the XMB?

I think if you try the recovery option it will search for all media options including the DVD/CD.

I've found some USB drives do not work while others do.
