Hi,

Can you please make sure that the IOS downloaded from the cisco site didn't
get corrupted while downloading.

I think it is better if you check the file size of the ios on the site ,
and then on your pc.

After loading the loading see if it matches with the router checksum.

You have tried all other things , if after this if it doesn't work..then
I will blame it on flash chip inside the 3550.

Cheers

Vishal

I am not sure if I am doin something wrong. This is my second day with this
problem Any help would be much appreciated.
