Hey all,
I have dug up a 2801 router from a closet and am trying to load an IOS on the CompactFlash card. I was unable to do so, and I was unable see the flash card in a card reader, so I assume it's dead.
So, I found a 128MB flash card from an old camera and am now trying to use that. When I insert it into the router, I see the following:
Flash card inserted in flash. Reading filesystem on the device...
Wait for the completion message before accessing device
Error removing Unknown file system for flash.
%Error show flash: (No such device)
When I try to format flash:, I get the following:
Router#format flash:
Flash card inserted in flash. Reading filesystem on the device...
Wait for the completion message before accessing device
Error removing Unknown file system for flash.
Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
Format operation will destroy all data in "flash:". Continue? [confirm]
%Error formatting flash: (No such device)
I know this 128MB CompactFlash card works because I can see data on it using a card reader. What am I doing wrong?
