Me also have done that approx 3 months back.

My system configuration is windows 8 .

It easy to do the upgrade.You just need the FTDI connector. Connect a ftdi connector to your board.

Then open multiwii firmware downloaded from the site,unzip the same and open it in arduino software.

Then select board as Duemilinove with ATmega 328p, then select port no.

Hit the config.h tabs, do your changes ,verify it and then upload.done.

Note :-multiwii 2.4 is not compatible with your board because of the space constrains on it.

Then I think you don't have the ftdi drivers properly installed.

First check that whether the device manager detects the ftdi or not.

If it doesn't detect then do the installation first.

Also note that if your ftdi has Prolific 2303HXA then you are in  a big problem.As the support for these chips have been discontinued & still there are many such chips available in the market.But some how I was been able to install the drivers for the same in my system by rolling back the drivers.

So,  just try once with another system, inorder to check that the board is working properly.

Try erasing the epprom first and then upload the code.

Also let me know that are u able to see data light on ftdi blinking while uploading the sketch or not.
