your copy command should be:

copy disk1: tftp:

Then follow the questions.

Use disk1: and not slot0:.

When you boot your router, it boots the first image it finds on the disk1:. It is fine as you have 1 image only. If you have more than one image you should set the boot var, the command is boot system disk1:7200.bin for you.

Then you can copy it to a tftp server on your pc for example:

copy disk0:s72033-adventerprise_wan-mz.122-33.SXI1.bin tftp:

Hi,

You dont seem to have set the boot variable.

Do a dir disk0: or dir disk1: and check for a file that will contain 7200.

Post your outputs if you want I can tell you what the file is.

here is the output

Directory of disk1:/

1 -rw- 10463672 Jul 28 2005 11:26:54 +00:00 7200.bin

31916032 bytes total (21450752 bytes free)

i think 7200.bin is the file name. The following error comes when i try to copy flash to tftp

"%Error opening slot0:7200.bin (No such device)"

can you pls elaborate " You dont seem to have set the boot variable "

your copy command should be:

copy disk1: tftp:

Then follow the questions.

Use disk1: and not slot0:.

When you boot your router, it boots the first image it finds on the disk1:. It is fine as you have 1 image only. If you have more than one image you should set the boot var, the command is boot system disk1:7200.bin for you.

Thanks a lot for the help

sorry for starting this again..

i had posted the same question in another n/w forum. one of the experts there suggested that if the sh ver is not showing the IOS that means either the flash is corrupt or there is some but in IOS. Is this true, if yes then what are the possible solutions for this prob.

Actually, this is could be related to CSCdp95322:

Symptom:

When booting from a PCMCIA ata-disk (disk0: or disk1), the process of booting

is normal, except that, once booted, the 'show ver' command will display

'Running default software' instead of the name of the image actually loaded. As

a consecuence of this, the SNMP object sysConfigName is empty, and this causes

some management applications to malfunction.

Conditions:

This problem only occurs when booting from a PCMCIA ata-disk (disk0: or

disk1:). Booting an IOS image from any other source will display the correct

image name.

Workaround:

To have the correct IOS image name displayed by the 'show version' command boot

the IOS image from any source but disk0: or disk1:.

This bug is fixed in your main image, but not in your boot image. You should try installing a boot image which contains this fix (e.g. c7200-boot-mz.120-33.S5) before assuming anything is wrong with flash.

I just found that System image file is line wont work on some IOS XE devices. The file name is truncated. I check a few devices that I am having this issue on .. the magic number seems to be 66 characters from " to ".
