PS3's can only read FAT32 drives. Since most computers from Windows 7 on up use NTFS, you'll have to specifically format the drive as FAT32 in order to get the PS3 to read it.

First you'll need a 32GB or smaller USB drive. Then use one of the many free FAT32 USB drive formatting tools available to format the drive to FAT32. From there make sure you create the correct directory structure (as indicated on Sony's firmware download page) for placement of the firmware file, and that's it.
