Well this works for me evry time:
Erase the flash then reboot. This will boot from bootflash. The 2500 has
good functionality with bootflash.
Then partition the flash and TFTP new image on as usual.
I also noticed that if the flash stick which contained the IOS was in the
second slot, it appeared partitioned. By swapping the flash sticks over, ie.
moving the stick with the IOS on it back to slot 1, it went back to one
partition.
Have a try, see what happens if you swap the sticks round.
Worth a try, but the erase flash method definitely works.

Gareth
