Thanks for replying.

i extracted file and renamed to creative.rom I'm using a brand new flashdrive. I doublechecked and it is FAT32.

Well im glad i know that this is erroring out, so at least i can keep focusing efforts here because it stayed lit red.

Also, i just tried not renaming it to creative.rom as I noticed these instructions on their site dont say to do that step.

Any other thoughts?
