How to install IOS on Cisco 11501

[parent.da]

Here's the situation, disk has been formatted by error. How do I install the IOS? I have other switches, could I copy IOS from another switch to a TFTP server and then copy it from the TFTP server to my switch?

Denis,

The WebNS software can not be removed from a working CSS, as the installation procedure involves uncompressing and then copying components into a file structure. There is no single file that remains after the installation, containing the image.

To recover from a failed disk, interrupt the boot process to enter offline diagnostics mode, then use the network boot option from menu item 1, to load the box and install code. You may need to use the advanced options to chkdsk also.

WebNS code can be downloaded from the download link at www.cisco.com.
