If you can do this then you know it is an ifiloader problem and not something stranger.

Yes. Try doing as James (Rickertsen) says (if you can find your way around Hyperterminal. )

Another thought: Hyperterminal will tell you what com ports are available. (Click on the "Connect Using" drop down list in the connection Properties dialog.) Try this both without the flash drive plugged in, and with it.
