I have the STM32-Discovery too.

You need to use one of the big three IDE's(Keil, Atollic, IAR) to flash 
it through the onboard debugger. It's hard, because they like to crash a 
lot. The other option is to hack a serial connection together to the 
UART1 pins, and control the BOOTx pins, which will allow you to use the 
traditional means of the STM32 serial bootloader.
