    My Main problem is... I can't even update the firmware again since windows wont load if its connected. Thanks for any possible help.

    That's a tough situation boss. A bad flash is definitely bad news. If you can, you might plug it into another PC, do a Hail Mary and hope it boots. If it does then you have a chance to try a reflash.
