Cannot restore my iPhone 3gs

I tried to update my Iphone with the latest software update, but it crashed during the update and was stuck for hours without getting any further along in the process, so i disconected it.
My phone is now in recovery mode.
When i tried to restore it there was a problem,
I plug the phone in,
it recognises the phone is in recovery mode, and tells me that it has to be restored before it can be used with itunes.
I then click restore, and get a message warning me that all data will be lost and the most recent software will be installed. I click ok.
It then says ''Extracting software...''
Then it says "Verifying Iphone restore with Apple..."
Then "Prepering Iphone restore..."
And then i hear the disconnecting/reconnecting noise, and then I get an error message saying that the phone could not be restored, ofter with different error codes. sometimes it says 21, sometimes 1600, or 1658 or sometimes it just says "iphone could not be found"
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the updated software,
i have deleted and reinstalled itunes,
I have tried all the different things i can find to mess with the USB ports,
I have swapped iphone cables,
I have done a hard reset on the phone,
and forced it into DFU mode.
I have attempted to restore my phone hundreds of times, and i am now getting desperate, and a migrane...
I dont have another computer, but i can go to a friends house and restore on her comp on wednesday, if i cant figure out a way to do it on my own computer.
Please help me, someone, anyone!

I share your migraine
My 4 just decided to go into recovery mode after an over nite charge.  After connecting to iMac/iTunes got the same prompt but restore was halted by errors (2001 and 2006).
Tried following the online instructions (useless)-tried the same steps you did-even checked my router firmware (nothing).
Finally went to a bar and they restored it successfully.  3 days later same thing happened (again after an over-night charge) and my restore error codes alternate between 2001 and 2006.  Going back to the genius bar tonight (and maybe the other kind if I can't get this working)-will let you know if any enlightenment comes my way.
The only thing new on the phone is the latest upgrade iOS5 and a game app that my son downloaded (Temple Run?)-I was so ****** I blamed it on him but he says I'm being ridiculous and he's usually right about these things.
