XDA II dead after incomplete upgrade

[vcp]

RUU upgrade didn´t finish after 8 hours.
I think it never started, because all what I could see is word USB in the top of the dispaly after the scren that showed my old ROM versions and the new ones, and I accepted the Start upgrade.
After retrying RUU as suggested in several posts, I get ERROR 101. Connection error. Check cables, power, ....
It seems that bootloader is missing, as I can not get into it (only words Serial/USB on top and v 1.01 at bottom of the screen).
Do I have any solution. (I bougth it in Hong Kong THREE days ago!!), and I am live in Spain.

Can anybody tell me what is the machine waiting for when shows Serial/USB screen ??
What can I further do ?

It seems that the problem was in mi portable (Windows 98 Second edition).
After starting upgrade again with a Windows 2000 machine all worked perfectly.
Is it documented any problem upgrading with Windows 98 SE ??

Ok that upgrade is only supported under W2K or XP,
BUT
it didn´t mentioned it in the presentation scren
AND
it starded ERASING my flash.
I think that an OS check can be performed and this problem can be easily corrected.
You can imagine how i felt during the three days that I have my XDA dead.
