I tried an external sd card reader and was able to write the image to the sd card. Thanks for your suggestions, you just saved me a bunch on a new computer.

Cmd is freezing sometimes when trying to load diskpart, I'm guessing I just don't have a powerful enough machine, this netbook was $265 with 2gb ram new (can't upgrade because the ram is welded to the motherboard) processor is Intel® Atom™ Z3735F Quad-Core Processor.

You can flash using a p2 and 500 megs of ram. Your laptop is fine. Maybe try another usb port.

Glad I could help.
