is this a new flash card? It maybe in a wrong format. Also, not knowing what kind of sup you have the following:

With software releases 7.5(1) and later, additional Flash PC card support was added as follows:

•64-MB ATA Flash PC card (MEM-C6K-ATA-1-64M=)—Only supported on Supervisor Engine 2. The device name is disk0: and the card requires ROMMON version 7.1(1) or later releases.

•64-MB linear Flash PC card (MEM-C6K-FLC64M=)—Only supported on Supervisor Engine 1. The device name is slot0: and the card requires ROMMON software release 5.3(1) or later releases.

The MEM-C6K-ATA-1-64M(=) and MEM-C6K-FLC64M= Flash PC cards are not formatted. Although the cards appear to be formatted when first installed, you must format the cards to prevent possible data corruption.

Please rate helpful posts.

We got the following:

remote command switch sh ver

seems like ROMMON is OK and we have formated the disk.

Check the disk is formatted before you load the image onto it.

Cisco say the disk must be formatted when it is installed, but they sip them in chassis unformatted.

If it is not formatted you can read and write to it but can not boot.
