Although I could "see" the Kindle in Puppy's HardInfo and Win7's Device Manager showed it as faulty I couldn't see it as a usb drive. I didn't need to do anything to help giorgio130's fastboot program "see" the Kindle. It just worked. After connecting the Kindle to the computer the led on the Kindle had come on a steady amber. I pressed the on/off button until it went out then released the button - the led immediately came back on. I don't know if that's important but I opened up a terminal after doing that. I also wonder if this would have worked if the Kindle's battery had been completely discharged.
