You had better give us the fullest amount of context that you can think of.
Only about 150 people have done this 'first day' of release.
Few have reported: "Thank You"
and far fewer have reported a problem.
"Normal" failure during boot-up will export the USB storage area for a few seconds (5 .. 15) before failing.
Long enough to move a file.
Another thought -
Is this an ad supported (I.E: "Special Offers") Kindle?
PS:
That flag filename is:
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
All capitals, no extension, no contents (which some find hard to do on a Windoze box).
Can you run a Linux LiveCD or Linux in a VM on that PC?
I really have less than zero recent experience with Windows (unless you want to downgrade to Win-2 or Win-3).

Okay, then ...
Context : I've followed the tutorial as written, and the kindle react like travak. My Kindle is passcode locked, so the USB isn't avaliable I think and I can only view it few seconds. But, all is like the "normal" failure.
The Kindle isn't with "Special Offers".
And for the filename, it's ok.
I can run Linux if you want, but I'm not very familiar with.
