Hi Folks,

I am having trouble in erasing the flash and hence can't upgrade the IOS. I
am getting the following error. Replaced the flash chip wit h a good
one(supposedly).

Router#copy tftp flash

Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.102]?

Source filename [c3640-d-mz.120-17.bin]? c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin

Destination filename [c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin]?

Accessing tftp://192.168.1.102/c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin...

Loading c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin from 192.168.1.102 (via Ethernet0/0):
!!!!!

Erase flash: before copying? [confirm]

Erasing the flash filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]

Erasing device...
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ee ...NOT erased

Erase of flash: complete

Any help is appreciated.

TIA,

Shine
