I am needing to upgrade the Flash card on our current ASA from 64mb to a 1GB card to make way from upgrading from 8.0 to 8.4. When i copy all the contents from the 64MB card through a card reader i am not getting the startup-config file copied over. I checked to make sure that all hidden files are shown, but i am not seeing it. I backed up the startup-config from the old 64mb card to a tftp server before switching the cards out. Is their something that i am missing?

The memory upgrade required for post-8.2 upgrades is generally the RAM (DRAM DIMM), not the internal Compact Flash card (where disk0: lives).
That aside, if you are using a card reader under Windows, you should be able to see the .private directory where startup-config is stored on the CF card by "unhiding" protected operating system files. Please see this blog post for details.

currently i am planning upgrading from 7.2.2 to 8.3 and going to run AnyConnect. I only have 64mb and I have plenty of space....I think you need to go thru your flash and remove unwanted files.

i have a few more packages to load on the flash and it pushed me well over the 64mb size.

that is what i was missing with the windows protected files. I have a demo asa from cisco to help with the conversion process and i was having trouble with getting the config loaded between the two asa devices and this seemed like a faster solution to work with.
