Start off by changing the configuration register to 0x2101. Then reload
the router as you need it to load the boothelper so that the flash is
read/write (2500's by default run from flash). You can also "break"
during bootup and then change the configuration register (o/r 0x2101).
Once the router is booted up you will see a "Router(boot)>" prompt.
From there go into enable mode and delete the images in the flash
partitions if they exist.

After you have deleted the images in the flash partitions remove the
"partition flash" command in the global configuration (no partition
flash). At this point verify that the flash is now one single partition
and then go ahead and copy down your new IOS image into flash.

HTH,

Subject: Router partition

Hello everyone,
can someone tell me to combine to partition into a single one for 2500
router. i have a 25001 router with with two partition. when i tried to
load my ios it always ask me to chose a partition i don't want to
because one partition has only 8 meg flash not enough space to load the
ios. i checked on cisco web site can't find any. i really wanted to
combine the two so i can have 16 meg instead of 8 to load my ios. any
input will be appreciated.

Thanks

TM
