Freescale freedom K82F board appears to have issue with MSD, etc

I got my FRDM-K82F a few days ago and it is a very interesting piece of hardware. I played with the demo that uses the accelerometer to light up the RGB LED based on the data a few times. This I did by pluggin in to a USB host as well as just a 5V USB charger. All the time I used the SDAin port. After a few times doing this, I lost the mass storage device named EMBED that was 1MB of memory space I believe. After that I read some and learned to reset into bootloader mode (unplug board, hold reset, plug in board, and release reset). This does give me a BOOTLOADER drive in windows, but it only has 100kb of storage space. Also there are no files such as 'last.txt' or 'fail.txt' present on the drive. I loaded a PEMicro Serial Driver onto the BOOTLOADER drive, and then pulled the cable out and replugged. The board does not show any MSD but it does produce a come port at COM6. I tried to connect at 115200 as shown in some guides, but never got anything. I know I am a newb, Arduino was as faras I had gone before. But, did I fry something? I cdo have the MSD_DEBUG_PEMicro_1.08_SDAV2.SDA file but it is too large to fit in the 100kB BOOTLOADER drive. It is too big by more than double. What is going on? I do get that the board has a K20 chip for programming, and I can see that on EMBED online site, but I never can see the FRDM-K82F chip there. I did install SDK, and several drivers, and KDS3, but all I can see is that I do have the package for my K82F installed in KDS, but no success with compiling and downloading to board. Where did my MSD (mass storage device) go, for the K82F chip? How do I fix this if possible? Again, sorry about the newb-ness quality of this post, but this is where I am with it. Thanks,
