I'm going to post some screen shots later to be better understood.

Also, as I already flashed diags partition and diags and main kernel. Do I need to flash them again or can I skip this and pick up where I've dropped?
You're actually at least 80% through, so it doesn't really make sense to switch to Linux now. All that you have left to figure out is how to statically assign the IP address to the network adapter. Just systematically go through all of the tabs and "Advanced..." buttons, and you'll find it.

About your second question: think about it. You've already flashed (written) the required kernels and partitions, and nothing overwrote them since then. Why would you have to write them again?
