If you truly have 9006, you should see all the partitions show up as "drives" in Windows. Are you seeing that? If so, and if you could maintain a connection, then yes you should be able to fix with Linux and the dd utility and you would not need to short the capacitors. Using a VM can be hit and miss on maintaining a solid connection. Typically using a Linux live disc has worked better for those who have been unable to get it done inside a VM. Also, the Windows SRK tool has worked for many people. It can be found at xda.
