Hi Washington,
Hope you got a solution if not here is one to try.
The challenge is that Cisco flashcards are formated in FAT16. This is what you do:
- Boot your router with the working flashcard. - Once done, and can access the normal global config mode, remove the working flashcard. - Insert the new flashcard, and issue the format flash command - Your card is now ready, and you may copy relevant files. -
I'd hoped for an easier way but did not get that with a 2811. I have a PC that runs Windows XP installed with a card reader. It could mount the flash card, but could not open it as a file system, so I pretty much think the Cisco flash card was having some proprietary (to Cisco) FS. There must be such a thing, no? What I did is almost as you've detailed, except that I shuttled all files into tftp server, removed the Cisco card, inserted the other card, formatted then brought in the files from the tftp server again. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
