Hi Arun,

Just eject the disk2: and reinsert after removing any dust on the disk and try on next time if face this issue but believe me the best option is to always try with internal bootflash\supboot for 72xx,76xx,65xx chasis.

I had also seen  that bootflash images are deleted but it doesn't allow to copy new image as space is still being used by the deleted image.

To remove all the deleted file from bootflash  use squeeze bootflash. This will free up the space and remove the deleted file.
