BB Angstrom display installation - problem

I am going around in circles with the trying to get the Beagle Bone Black 4.3INCH LCD DISPLAY CAPE working. I have formatted the SD card, put the files onto the SD card but when I boot the BB with SD installed the BB will not boot, I have tried to use a USB memory stick hub where I can see the SD card but still did not work.

Can anyone help, to provide some more information how to transfer the files and get the image up and running on the BB.

Many thank

Have you checked out this page? http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software

Adafruit also a has tutorial which is more visual with screenshots:

Finally, Ben Heck's new episode has a video of upgrading the BBB:

I have that same 4.3" LCD cape and the BBB so hopefully I can help you troubleshoot.
