Hi, I had the same problem when I tried to download the latest firmware for my pod HD300. I first tried downloading it from my laptop running windows 8 a number of times, but each time it failed, leaving me with dsp boot fail. I then tried using a laptop running windows 7, but the same thing happened. I called line6, but they were no help. They said it was most likely a fault with the pod, but it was working fine until I tried downloading their software! I wasn't satisfied with this, so I thought I'd try one more go. This time I tried it on my old desktop running windows XP. It worked!!! BUT it did wipe ALL the presests from my pod! I could do a factory reset, but I'm afraid to, just in case I have to reload the firmware and have the same problems again! I don't mind putting in new sounds because I hadn't any patches created before the download fiasco, and I didn't like the line6 presets anyway, but if you had a lot of good sounds put in, your'll most likely loose them. I sent a ticket to line6 about this, but their answer was, better get the pod checked out anyway, nothing about the download problem. I hope this works for you. let me know how you get on.
