Do you have a null modem serial cable available? If so, can you toggle the Console Out dip switch, connect a serial cable to your PC, and save the output you get on your PC? (You can use Window's built-in hyperterminal, baud 9600). Posting that output may help us diagnose the problem.

There was a situation during beta where severely corrupted cRIOs were resulting in this error message being displayed. The solution in that scenario is to toggle the Safe Mode dip switch on, reboot, then run the imaging tool. You should get a dialogue that the tool has detected the cRIO is in safe mode asking if you want to reformat the device. Select the reformat option, and when it is done, toggle off safe mode, reboot, and run the imaging tool again to image the target normally.
