Nexus 5596 Loader> Problem

[collrbbrt]

Hi guys I have a brand-new cisco Nexus 5596 Switch and I want to install kickstart and system image.

Problem is: when switch starts I only get the word Loader>

When I type dir command I only get 

loader> dir
bootflash:
lost+found

There is nothing in bootflash.

Also I can not see the USB drive even when it is connected.

How can I recover from this ?

  - Check if you can get an image on the Nexus by using these commands : 
             loader> boot tftp://<tftp_server_ip>/n5000-uk9-kickstart.7.0.3.N1.1.bin
    switch(boot)> load bootflash:/n5000-uk9.7.0.3.N1.1.bin
   switch(boot)>  install all
                     Of course you need to change the image name(s) , according to available software
