C2960 USB flash device works in ROMMON but not in normal mode

[Garalor4Tri]

Hello,

I have a 512MB USB Flash device and was able to boot the IOS on the C2960 from it.

After that i tried to Copy the IOS file from the USB to the system flash, but it could not find the USB Device.

At plugging in the device the systems tells me:

"Transfer type 2 not supported"

I configured the USB device in NTFS and FAT both are able to boot with the ROMMON, but the normal system does not accept them

and i know i can do the copy over a TFTP from my laptop, but it is strange that rommon accepts the usb device and the system does not

Any ideas, or suggestions?

thx in advance

I use USB drives extensively for routers and switches and I've never seen a behaviour like this before.

During normal operation, if you stick the USB drive into the slot, what do you see on your console screen and when you do a "sh log"?
