Rick,
I have had similar problems. In one case it was simply me hitting a key
other then Y when the router was prompting me to erase the flash. If you do
that you won't even see the prompt, and it will try to copy to flash which
won't work because it was not erased. So try the copy TFTP flash again, be
careful not to touch the keyboard.
At other times, it was me forgetting to set an IP address or default-gateway
on the router, when my DHCP server was on a different subnet. And finally I
use Linux as my TFTP server, and I have at times had the wrong rights set on
the file.
HTH
Cassidy.

Subject: 2500 Flash problems Please help!
1st. I tried Cisco and tried to search the group study archives, but
group-study was down and well Cisco might as well have been down because
nothing would come up..
Here is my problem, and I'm hoping somebody has the answer..
I'm trying to upgrade to a new version of code and the router want let me
erase the flash. It say read-only. And when I just try to copy tftp flash it
says not enough space. (that is because it must over-ride the old image
first
(or erase it). How do I get around this? You can look at the problems below.
I
do have 16/16 in the router.
Thanks,
Rick

This process will accept the copy options and then terminate
the current system image to use the ROM based image for the copy.
Routing functionality will not be available during that time.
If you are logged in via telnet, this connection will terminate.
Users with console access can see the results of the copy operation.
