Should I try it anyway?
That only means the system can't de-brick a paperwhite.

I did not mean for you to use the Wizard to de-brick your Kindle.
I only mean for you to run Linux (rather than Win8) and escape from the Wizard to the command line by pressing F4.

At that time, you are running a Linux OS in ram (does not touch anything installed on your PC).
Then you have a chance of dealing with devices that come and go too quickly for Windows.
