Can't restore my ipad2

[revm1m]

I was updating to IOS 4.3.1 , after it was done, it said that I had to restore. When I clicked on restore, after a minute or so window came up showing error and ipad can't be restored. I restarted my computer and unpluged the usb and plug it back in, nothing works. Should I take it tp Apple store?

You may restore your device in DFU mode.

Same problem, and DFU mode did squad.

EDIT: Solved it, was a stupid "error code 1013" (so friggen tired right now I kept seeing 3101, good luck finding a fix for that). Had to delete some stuff from the host file and it worked.

Windows:

Step 1. Start –> Programs –> Accessories
Step 2. Run Notepad or WordPad
Step 3. Click “Open..” from File menu.
Step 4. Browse to Windows/System32/drivers/etc
Step 5. In "files of type:" select all documents
Step 6. Open "hosts"
Step 7. Delete all line that has "gs.apple.com" or something like that
Step 8. Hit Save
Step 9. Restore your device

I tried it, didn't work. Thanks anyway. I went to Apple store and they fixed it. They said Itune didn't complete the download.
