With you saying cables I take it you must have a null modem cable and usb adaptor.
If so you may need to load drivers for adaptor
connect your box up and then go into device manager and you should be able to see it connected to one of the ports, this port needs to be set to the port that the Unified Flash Loader is set to

okay i summised wrongly (yes you only need the one cable if you have the correct port on your PC) providing it is a null modem cable which is wired differently to a rs232 cable

connect your box to the PC with the cable and plug in your power supply to your box
go into device manager and expand the Ports (COM & LPT)
you should see Communications Port (COM1) (or may be a different number)
right click on it and select properties
select Port Settings and click on the advanced button
Make sure the Com Port Number is set to either 1,2,or 3
then try downloading the firmware
