The volume - is the button nearest to the power button. You probably pushing the button furthest to the power button (which is the volume + button). If you have a hard time doing it, just download quick boot application and choose to bootup into bootloader.

Actually you don't need the quickboot.

Follow this from a few posts back
Reboot your Device: Push the power button together with the volume down button (nearest to the power button) and hold both buttons until the MediaPad vibrates.

==>> Release the power button and hold the volume down button.

You have to release the power button when you see the text "Fast Boot mode....etc"

Then you can run the fastboot command via command prompt, that's when it will detect the device.

You need a pc to do it. Just search for fastboot on this forum or Google.

The pad needs to boot into fastboot mode. I think it was volume - (basically one volume button is going into recovery/the green android and holding the other one going into fastboot mode/bootloader). You'll know you're in fastboot mode because the pad said so.
To flash the boot.img, you'll need fastboot software in your pc/computer. Just search for fastboot.zip in xda or Google and extract the content and put the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot software and run the command in the first post from the command prompt. If you don't understand command prompt, then make a text file in notepad containing the command and save it as anything.bat (choose the file type to all files or something like that) and save it/put the anything.bat file in the same folder as the fastboot software and run it. For preventing the windows closing so that you know whether the flashing is successful or not, Iirc, you can add @echo off in the second line of the bat file, so it would look like this

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
@echo off

I might be wrong though. If you dig the Olympic kernel thread, I think you'll find a better example of the bat file (and I think there's a link for the bat file there).
