need help on 2 items please.

1. While I was in the ENABLE_DIAGS utilities trying to ssh into my kindle PW 5.3, I accidentally touched the Format User Partition option (so something formatted :/ ). After failing to SSH into the kindle, I tried to reboot by Disable Diags but received the error "Cound not mount/access customer partition.

I'd like to get back to the main kindle OS.

2. I need help with SSH using Putty in Windows. (tried to follow https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking#SSH.3F and failed) Windows seemed to install all the drivers fine (I'd like to mention that I've connected to another Kindle NT before). I've configured the network interface IP 192.168.15.201 as in step5 and tried Putty to 192.168.15.244 port 22. I am getting "Connection refused" error.
