There are issues with flashing using 64bit. If you read the guide it will tell you this and give possible work arounds. You can also use a ubuntu live cd to flash if the work arounds do not work.
Remember, if you are not confident in re-flashing, you should not be installing an alternate os.

You can however change your root files in maemo. just mount the sd card to /and and you then go in and change anything you want.

Clever, eh?
Anyway, i now tried to reflash my device. i downloaded the flasher, the newest bin and typed in the commands, and after processing a few seconds it says "Suitable USB Device not found. Waiting..." although i connected the N900 in Update Mode (you know, this U and plugin simultaenously thing) and i am using Windows XP 64 Bit. tried it with several usb ports what to do now?

Ok, a little help needed here.
I've followed the tutorial on Post 1 letter by letter exactly.
I actually SSH'd into my n900 and copy pasted every line.
When i turn on my n900 i get the Multiboot screen with the options of:
1. Maemo
2. NITDroid
So i press Q/1 and it boots into Maemo. It works fine.
If i press W/2 it starts to boot into Android. It shows loads of things loading, says "A N D R O I D" and other things. Then it sticks on a black screen with a flashing (i think) cursor.
I've been patient and left it for 5 minutes or so but it does nothing.
Could somebody help me by telling me some things to type into xterminal that would check if everything is ok ?
