In Linux I'd just rmmod the driver but in Windows ... who knows.
Thanks @dsmid

Yep that's just what I did - as soon as I got to the fastboot screen it unchecked the kindle USB device and no way could I get it back. Pity - the SliTaz distro really doesn't like my BIOS so I'll just have to go the long way round to reflash if I need to.

Just so I understand if I did dual-boot my laptop with Linux and ran Kubrick under Virtual Box and got the same error how would I force it to release the Kindle get to fastboot?

cheers
