Hi,
If you have any other cisco 3560G series switch then you can take ios from that switch and upload the same ios to your deleted switch,following is the procedure for the same :-
switch#sh flash
Directory of flash:/
2 -rwx 99 Feb 24 2005 11:16:03 -05:00 private-config.text
3 -rwx 8149 Feb 24 2005 11:16:03 -05:00 config.text
4 -rwx 804 Jun 10 2004 18:45:09 -04:00 vlan.dat
6 -rwx 342 Jun 10 2004 11:36:32 -04:00 system_env_vars
24 drwx 192 Jun 10 2004 11:36:23 -04:00 c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2
7 -rwx 18 Jun 10 2004 11:36:32 -04:00 env_vars
15998976 bytes total (8269312 bytes free)
c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2 is the directory that the IOS file is in
This gives you the IOS file name in the directory
switch#cd flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2
switch#sh flash
Directory of flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2/
25 drwx 2688 Jun 10 2004 11:34:50 -04:00 html
107 -rwx 4219426 Jun 10 2004 11:36:23 -04:00 c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2.bin
108 -rwx 252 Jun 10 2004 11:36:23 -04:00 info
15998976 bytes total (8269312 bytes free)
Next copy the IOS to the tftp server
switch#copy flash tftp
Source filename [flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2.bin]? flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2.bin
Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.1
Destination filename [/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2.bin]? c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-20.EA2.bin
That should complete the copy of the IOS to the tftp server when it is in a directory
Check out the below link for more information to recover or upgarde an ios to switch
http://www.cisco-secure.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_tech_note09186a0080169696.shtml
and if dont have any new switch check your cisco smartnet contract that downloading an ios needs some commericial aspect involved or not.
Hope to Help !!
