yeah i have been. i think its an issue with my virtual windows machine (vmware fusion on mac) re-recognizing the phone via usb in time before the revolutionary program times out and fails...

I'm having the same issue but with Parallels running Windows XP. Attempting to revive my Boot Camp Installation.

A live cd is an Linux distro that you download as an .iso file. you burn the .iso file to a CD and boot the cd. It allows you to run Ubuntu or the distro of your choice on the cd, with no changes to the OS on your computer. If the virtual machine is giving you trouble this might be the easiest way to go.

Here is the Ubuntu download page:

Completely forgot about Live CDing it! Gonna try that now!

works on OSX?

It should definitely work if you have a Mac. I've used it before. It really has nothing to do with Mac OS X.

Burned the disc but couldn't get it to boot. Then had to leave for vacation. Bittersweet. I will figure it out when I get back, I think Lion is different when it comes to booting from CD.

Lion is no different. I boot into live CD by holding down C at boot time. My issue is that my mouse and keyboard are BT and Linux didn't recognize it. I ended up trying the windows through parallels and after a few attempts it worked!

What I found that maybe did the trick was running revolutionary while the phone was booting up. Good luck.!
