Have you tried BOOT SYSTEM TFTP and then manually deleting the file? I had an old 2501 I had to do that on that had a 10.x image on it.

I am trying to upgrade my IOS images. Neither the Router Software Loader, not the good old copy tftp: flash: is working. RSL gives me some odd message the copy function never asks if I want to erase the current image on the flash - it just starts to copy, then stops, with a message that there is not enough rook on the destination device. sample output of my process: Router_7#copy tftp flash: **** NOTICE **** Flash load helper v1.0 This process will accept the copy options and then terminate the current system image to use the ROM based image for the copy. Routing functionality will not be available during that time. If you are logged in via telnet, this connection will terminate. Users with console access can see the results of the copy operation. ---- ******** ---- Proceed?

I suspect this is a problem with the particular image. I had no problem upgrading a different router with a different image. Unfortunately, just about all my routers have this identical image in place. Anyone seen this? got a fix? CCO searches have not been regarding. TAC won't talk to me even though I work for a major partner. Apparently my management made some procedural changes, and I can't locate anyone internally who can help me out. They apparently have lives :-> thanks much -- www.chuckslongroad.info still a work in progress, but on line for your enjoyment z Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=52490&t=52489 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
