Hi,

- Dir flash: and you could see a file there.

- Tried boot flash:.

- Tried Xmodem, to download a new IOS if boot fails from boot command.

- If all previous test failed, Its probably a hardware failure, and the box will have to be replaced.

Did you happen to get an error message stating something like "magic number not found"? I ran into that last week, and the eventual fix was:

  1. Set config reg to 0x2101 (ROM boot helper)
  2. reboot into IOS
  3. Erase flash: (format flash: is better if your device supports it, mine didn't)
  4. Download new IOS into flash via TFTP
  5. boot system flash:
  6. change config reg to 0x2102
  7. reboot

If step 1-2 doesn't work, you'd have to Xmodem an IOS image >I Have Cisco 837 ADSL Router, I'm facing a problem, its flash memory
