Still I can’t flash my N900.

It is continuously rebooting.

I removed battery and insert when it connected with PC.

I tried Xp and Win 7.

In XP, it shows “NEW Hardware found” then it shows “This device not working properly….bcz of driver not installed successfully”

In Windows 7, even it not shows new device found.

can't help you with the LostDOS (aka windooooz) stuff, but i have a comparable problem; on openSUSE (no matter whether 32 or 64 bits) the OS catches new devices & mounts them, pretty much like windooooz does, in fact; i use SystemRescueCd (based on Gentoo) whenever i have to re flash.
if you have a spare memory card (& reader to boot on) or USB stick, you can also use LinuxLive USB Creator
you can even boot into a basic X environment, mount any NTFS partition with ntfs-3g
Code:
~ # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
and then start the flasher
obviously, you have to download the Linux version of flasher for that
you can use maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz

you probably won't able to run the Linux program from the NTFS partition, so you would have to copy it to bin

Code:
~ # cd /mnt/windows/bin/
/mnt/windows/bin # cp flasher-3.5 /bin
/mnt/windows/bin # chmod 755 /bin/flasher-3.5
/mnt/windows/bin # cd {to where you extracted images}
{...} # flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
if you have a wired network (or easily can connect to a wireless) system rescue cd comes with FireFox & net support, so you could actually open this page once in SRCD & download, copy & all there

Did you download libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip to your computer? After that connect your n900 to your computer and run the inf-wizard.exe (which is found in the bin folder of the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip).

After that press next and wait until your device is detected among the list and then when your device appears among the list choose it and press next.
Give it several tries.
