hi,
i have already checked the above link. how should i know that compact flash is working, and which command do i need to issue in order to copy ios from tftp to compact flash.
My compact flash is inserted into router already. but when i issue command sh flash: the output is as follow:Directory of flash:/

is it internal flash output or compact flash output?

Likely your directory is of internal flash.
There's an option to the directory command to show all. (Something like /allfilesystem - I'm not at a Cisco router to check syntax.)
If you're using "brand X" compact flash, it might not be recognized by the router. You also might need for format within the router.

Thanks

if your talking about the CF card on the front of the router try sh slot0:
the CF on the Main-board is Flash: the one on the front (I know some think of it as the back) is Slot0:

hi,
The "show slot 0 " commnad is not available. how should i access that compact flash. My version is 3800 Software (C3845-IPBASE-M), Version 12.4(3i), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2).

Are you using Cisco CF?
10-16-2008 06:18 AM
Try doing
dir /all
and see what it comes back with. Also try
dir slot0:
dir disk0:

try
sh s?
its "sh slot0:"
no space between the t and the zero
and its possible that you need the colon
you might try looking over "Show file systems" this will list all file systems on the router
