Awesome, got the bootloader to work. Apparently I'd been pushing just the vol down and power, but needed to press the back button too when you press the reset button... So it's installing the new rom via bootloader.

So anyways, I guess my inability to make windows 7 play nice is a moot issue now. To those of yall having problems like me, just turn the usb mode to disk drive mode (not active sync), throw the .nbh onto the internal storage, boot into bootloader, and vola! Thanks yall
