This is not a direct answer to your question, but I recently upgraded a couple of 2500s from 11.1 to 12.0 and in the process I was asked if I wanted to erase the flash. I think the procedure will ask this if you try to copy tftp flash an image that will not fit into the free space on the flash. Maybe you are trying to do something similar... daveh -----Original Message----- From: Rossetti, Stan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 11:47 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How do you erase the flash on 2505 router.
