esp firmware corrupted after upgrade

[rcoonjr]

I was doing my upgrade to the firmware step by step. after doing the drag to the sys: it said the upload was complete... then rebooted the imsai replica. to find it was dead. hooked the esp to the usb port of my laptop with putty.. showing it was corrupted with a rebooting cycle. I'm at a loss on how to flash the esp. I've looked at the faqs what little i found and im stumped I'm starting to get into working more with esps but this one has me confused. any help is ideal. as I was getting this guy up to snuff for the VCFMW show..
