IOS image couldn't be copied to any file system

Hi All,

 

I'm having issues dowloading an IOS from FTP server. Connectivity was already checked and verified.

See error below;

switch#copy tftp bootflash:
Address or name of remote host []? 146.10.67.69
Source filename []? out/cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG4.bin
Destination filename [cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG4.bin]?
Accessing tftp://146.10.67.69/cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG4.bin...
%Error opening tftp://146.170.67.68/cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG4.bin (No such device)

When I tried to save a text file to the bootflash, it won't save.

switch#copy run bootflash:config.txt
Destination filename [config.txt]?
%Error opening system:/running-config (No such device)
switch#

I can write on the nvram

switch#wr
Building configuration...
Compressed configuration from 39462 bytes to 13833 bytes[OK]
switch#

Can we concluded that my bootflash is corrupted?

 

Cheers,

Sheila
