with help from a new friend. I recovered my cisco image but i had to remove the wic in order for the image to transfer without errors stating that memory is insufficient. but after i took the card out image loaded no problem and i was in user mode, but when i put the wic back in and turn the router back on i get the same insufficient memory error. here is my output
Memory configuration adjustment:
Image size=23016732, PMem req=32223424, I/O mem=3354624, PMem avail=30199808
INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO LOAD IMAGE!
Please look at the Memory configuration adjustment messages.
The difference between PMem req and PMem avail is how much more memory you
need. A temporary workaround is to remove a WIC or a DSP module; this may
cause the I/O memory requirement to decrease, and may allow you to at least
use the router with reduced functionality until you get more memory.
