Thank you for the reply. I didn't mention it, but it was connected to a 5V wall-wart as well as the USB connection. I think you've described what happened, I do get a prompt and not the repeating "C"s. I couldn't get the sd "flasher" method to work, it would always go to the prompt. I think I'm going to attempt to restore the partition as you've described. Thank you again.
