ugh

i'm stuck at step 1.

I've just downloaded, update_PW2_5.4.3.2_initial.bin, chucked it in the root dir, and "update your kindle" was greyed out.

So I reset the thing, thinking it may need some trigger to read / , but it still was greyed out, so I plugged it in to find that the bin wasn't there anymore - did my 5.8.1 just delete it or something?

I'm trying again, I might try downloading another file just in case this one is corrupted, haven't checked the hash yet..

edit: Ok maybe it just didn't copy right the first time(even though the size on the device was 385,752kb.

It's currently updating now. Will update on how this all goes =]
