Hi

See full document here on how to restore an image. Read in fully before doing any configuration.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_tech_note09186a0080169696.shtml

Youa re using an incorrect copy command. It is supposed to look like this.

copy xmodem: flash:c2955-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin

Please help me in this regard.

First tip is to remove the teamviewer ID and password from your output.

Next, i dont see where you ran the 'copy xmodem' command. You need to run this command from the CLI and then send xmodem from hyperterm.

Specific instructions are here.

1. 1. Issue the copy xmodem:                 flash:c3560-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEB4.bin command on the                 switch.

      Here is an example:

      switch: copy xmodem: flash:c2955-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin
      Begin the Xmodem or Xmodem-1K transfer now...
      CCC

   2. From the top of the HyperTerminal window, choose Transfer                 > Send File.

      

   3. Choose the Xmodem protocol in the Send File                 dialog box and click Browse in order to select the Cisco IOS                 image (.bin file) that you downloaded previously.

      

   4. Click Send in order to begin the Xmodem                 transfer.

      

      The Xmodem file transfer begins. This transfer can take up to 2                 hours, which depends on the size of the image.

      CCCCCCC.........................................................................

      File "xmodem:" successfully copied to "flash:c2955-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin"
      
      !--- If the Xmodem file transfer fails for some reason, restart the process.
      !--- If the Xmodem file transfer is successful, you return to the 
      !--- switch: prompt.
      
      switch:

2. Boot the new image that you just copied over with the Xmodem             procedure.

   Issue the boot             flash:filename command, as this example             shows:

   switch: boot flash:c2955-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin
   Loading "flash:c2955-i6q4l2-mz.121-13.EA1.bin"...###############################

   !--- Output suppressed.
   
   Press RETURN to get started!
   Switch>
   
   !--- The bootup was successful.
   
   

   Be sure to verify that your boot statements are set             correctly.
