I was wondering if someone could help me out or even point to a specific thread/reply in a thread that may help me out. Thanks in advance.
Don't use any ort of emulated or virtual Windows to do any flashing of any device that uses USB. There a good chance it won't work.

That said, find someone running a real Windows system to do your flashing.
