Formatting a Crio with 2014 image

[de_]

We are poking away at trying to repeat a complete setup of a 2014 CRIO system and java development environment. We seem to have got all the files and documentation etc and are trying to reformat our Crio that currently has a 2013 image on it with the V52 2014 Crio image. We believe we have the configuration correct (2014 NI update installed), using 2014 imaging tool, set our IP correctly etc. We are directly connected to the CRio through a cross over cable.
The FRC 2014 Crio imaging tool finds the Crio with the expected address. It reports the Crio has the 2013 image loaded on it. It knows about the 2014 V52 zip file image. We select Java and Format the Crio and in short order it reports the image was transferred and it is waiting for the Crio to reboot. It waits forever. If we cycle the power on the Crio, it reboots and the imaging tool reports that the Crio still has the 2013 image, (not the 2014 image) installed. I sort of remember transferring the image was a somewhat long slow process yet here it transfers in a second. Anyone remember or have any suggestions ?
