So, I'm a newbie, had my unit for a while but haven't gotten it installed due to various reasons... just installing the software, noticed that the new version of Emplode didn't seem to work with talking to the unit too well, and figured I should upgrade the firmware to the latest/greatest.

So I do that, notice the Rio logo has come back up on the unit, don't see the upgrading software window even though the Emplode software is up (this is on XP btw), and so figure it's good to go. The unit isn't responding to button presses, so I figure I should just power it off.

Then I notice the upgrade window says it's 'pumping partitions' (I believe), after I notice it was under another window.

Unfortunately, now the unit responds to no button presses, and I cannot use the upgrade software to reinstall the firmware. Help! What can I do to frix this???

Thanks!
