Thanks Mark,
Gave it a try:
restore factory-default preserve basic-config
This command will wipe out all of data on the disks
and all of ACNS CLI configurations except basic network
configurations for keeping the device online.
The to-be-preserved configurations are network interfaces,
default gateway, domain name, name server, hostname and
device-mode (if applicable).
If the box is in evaluation period of certain product,
the evaluation process will not be affected.
It is highly recommended that you stop all active services
before this command is run.
Are you sure you want to go ahead?[yes/no] yes
Are you really sure you want to go ahead?[yes/no] yes

To rectify this situation, use one of the following
EXEC mode commands to install a new full system image:
copy ftp install
copy cdrom install
install
Doing the upgrade then failed,
Busy redownloading the flash and software images now. Will give that a try.
