Hi Bruce,

You should change registry "config-register 0x2101". This operation set
flash in Read/Write mode.
Another option is CTRL+Break on startup and commands o/r this also set
flash in to Read/Write mode, then you will be able to erase IOS image from
flash.
In newest IOS versions 12.x) this operation will be done automatically,
after you type copy tftp: flash: router will reboot and change registry.

Tomek Bartel

name is Tomek Bartel and like most of you on this list I'm going to achieve
