c2950 IOS Recovery

[AlanELint]

Hello

I have received several c2950 that have had their IOS removed and I can not get it back onto it. I have tried copy xmodem: flash: and the ios and that did not work. and I have tried tftp but for some reason that would not push the IOS onto it. I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem and know a solution to this problem. I would appreaciate it as I see myself running into htis problem more often and do not want a stack of useless switches sitting next to me taunting me daily.

Hello,

Do you get any error messages when you try to copy the image via xmodem?

Regards,
