HELP! Dont know where to put downloaded IOS 4.1 in computer files

Hey all,
my iphone 3gs died this morning and im trying to restore it, ended up downloading the lastest IOS as a stand alone file, just wondering where to put it, ive been told Windows Vista: "\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" is the place, but the 'AppData' part of that address doesnt exsist on my computer. I have windows vista aswell thanks

Ok, you sounds like you are checking for iTunes updates, not iPhone updates
What did you save in the folder earlier? Was it something like this? "iPhone2,14.1_8B117Restore.ipsw"
If not delete it.
Open iTunes and the connect your iphone.
On the left part of the screen, you will see Devices - "your" iPhone
Click on that
In the summary screen, you will see a button "Check for Updates"
If you don't have the latest version in the folder discussed earlier, it will want to download a new one.
Select the Download only selection, not the download and Restore selection.
The new file will be downloaded.
Let me know when you have got this far.
A
