connectivity kit
VIA 6421 add-on card
GaryOPA's 7-in-1 v1.3
Windows XP SP2 totally up-to-date
attempted to flash today, and hit the following error

it passes the first stage, but gives me this at the second and won't go further.
drive still seems to work ok in 360 so guessing it's not totally fubar'd
any suggestions?
