Help, 16gb upgrade

I am trying to upgrade my HVX200 to use the 16gb (and larger) cards.

I have the upgrade file (freshly downloaded) on an SD card - loaded into the camera.

According to Panasonic's .pdf, With a loaded SD card containing the update file, I should see the menu item 'update' in the 'operation' menu, but I don't.

Anyone with a similar experience?

My current firmware is 2.03-00-0.00. Does this mean I don't need the upgrade? I got the camera in January 2007, before the 16gb cards were released.
 
Solved my own problem - kind of obvious I guess.

I had transferred the downloaded file to the SD card to be used in the HVX, within that file was the "Private" folder - which is what the HVX was looking for.

If your using a similar system to mine (ie Safari on a MBP running 10.5.2) - when you download the updater file and it unzips itself - you still need to go into the file to get to the "Private" folder- which is what you need to use - and drag just that folder onto the SD card.
