In the File Management menu, the commands Format, Rename, Save etc. always show the message "Connect to USB Device", although a USB stick is already connected to the CP.
I have already tried several USB sticks, from different companies and with different formatting, which are also recognized on a Windows PC, but without success.
It is interesting, however, that an OS update (1.41) was possible via a USB stick.
In the meantime I even performed a factory reset on the CP, but that was also unsuccessful!
Does anyone have any advice for me?

Maybe consult the list and only use one that has been qualified.

I don't do this myself - I've been "lucky" using sticks from manufacturers/models not on the list.
However, I also make it a point to only purchase USB 2.0 and also the smallest size I can find (2GB if possible). I also stay away from sticks that come bundled with software because most of these use multiple partitions that confuse Yamaha gear. If you do have such a stick, you would need to do more than format an existing partition. You would need to wipe the entire stick (including removing all partitions). Then repartition with a single FAT partition. I may go even as far as formatting as a FAT16 2GB max size partition even if the stick is larger than 2GB (and keep rest of the unpartitioned space as unused).
