Chances are you have a weak battery and it lost power in the middle of the process. The same thing happened to me once.
You will have to call Edge, download the Fusion software, and they will guide you on how to upgrade the Edge through your computer.They will re-load the stock program onto it.
Make sure your battery is fully charged, I hooked up a booster to my battery as I re-loaded mine.
Hook the Edge back up, and let it do it's thing. The truck should fire right up then.

Did Edge tell you you need a re-flash??? That doesn't make sense. Edge will do the re-flash with the programmer.

When Mine crapped out, Ford couldn't even re-flash it. The Edge had them locked out. I had to have it done through Edge to get through their software that was half installed.
Cost me $60 or so at Ford for nothing.

You have a cs made for a 99. You have a 97. I'm fairly sure that there are many differences in them years, as far as engines go at least.
