WinXP Home gives "unknown device"

[brijam]

It recognizes it as a USB removable disk and Motorola Phone if I plug it in normally. But if I try to start the phone in bootloader mode and connect it, I get "unknown device" errors. I've tried the "clean and install" option of the Motorola drivers, no joy.

This is driving me crazy, I'm a Linux guy and can't flash my Linux phone from Linux, I have to use cruddy Microsoft tools which, as usual, don't work properly. Sigh. Anyone have any way to do this properly, especially under Linux?

open rsd lite, then connect your phone in the data/fax mode
