I ran into the "doesn't ask yes or no" problem. I sort of combined the instructions here with the instructions on N00bz! to come up with this method. I'm not sure what part worked, but one of them did.

First I ran mspformat. It can be found in this package: "http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/news/pandoras-battery.html"

You put it in your C:, or root folder, get a cmd prompt, and type "cd mspformat" then "mspformat x" with x = your memory card's drive.

It'll ask if you're sure you want to format, say yes. Take the card out of the card reader and re-insert it. It should be blank. Format it again using Windows (right click the drive, format). NOW put all the files back on the card, open your cmd prompt back up and run msinst.

The second time it worked right...it asked the y/n question, did its thing, and everything else worked just like it should from there in the tutorial.

I honestly don't know if it was mspformat that did it or simply re-formatting the card and putting all the files back on it. I had already formatted it once before starting so I don't see how simply re-formatting could've solved the problem but I honestly don't know. Stranger things have happened.
