That is the only thing i haven't attempted to do is ROOT first then load the update. Any ideas??

The device does not need to be rooted. Unfortunately a lot of new owners seem to be having troubles with the upgrade due to no fault of their own. The upgrade seems like it can be a little finicky. What version of Dingo is on the device? Press MENU on the tablet, Settings, About eDGe (Android version). If it is 1.13 you may want to try upgrading to Dingo 1.6 before attempting Ermine. Some users have also reported problems using a 2GB or 4GB USB and were able to get it to work using a smaller capacity drive.
If you were following the procedure in the Resource Sticky it was meant to help eliminate bad media, file name etc. However, to avoid confusion I am removing that procedure from the Sticky and replacing it with the official upgrade instructions as they were provided from Entourage. I have also attached that PDF here.
