[iPAQ] Problem restoring iPaq, unable to erase flash?

I'm trying to restore a PocketPC image to my iPaq after trying out Pocket
Linux. I followed the directions on the handhelds.org page for restoring
the iPaq and this is the error I get at the end when trying to load the last
4 MB chunk into the boot area. Has anyone seen this problem before?
