Hi Shamin,
After you have configured "boot system flash:/directory/file.bin", also you
have to "write mem" first, then "show boot" again. The boot var should be
change to new file, if you don't write mem, it won't be changed, after then
reload the switch.
Another way you can format flash: and load the image (.bin) to the flash, it
should be the first file on flash and should boot up normally (if file don't
crash) :-)

Hi Akaradeth,
With the given flash details, my 12.1Ios is loading. But the problem is when
i try to upgrade it to IOS 12.2.
The boot flash command is still the same pointing to the 12.2 IOS as shown
in the output i copied here. This was done when I had a 12.2 IOS installed.
But inspite of giving the boot command pointing to the IOS 12.2 , it did not
load the IOS. It said " Error loading IOS...". And it reverted to the
12.1IOS which is also there in the flash.
regards
shamin

Hi,
I have some suggestions,
I can see that the boot var is not pointed to the correct file (normally
file name should not has [1]), after you configure "boot system flash"
already you have to write mem, and check the "boot var" before reload.

It is directory, therefore the correct path should be
"boot sytem
flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a.bin"

Hi,
Jose is correct, use the .tar archive and upload via tftp (make sure it
fits into flash though) - can't go wrong really :-).
Have a look at the below URL, that explains it all.

To replace the whole filesystem use the below command,
archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://tftp_server_ip/file_name
The /overwrite will effectivly replace the existing structure.
