you can't leave us hanging like that.  What did you do to get it working?

The problem is that you are not completing the path to the file you want to boot from - you need to a forward slash after flash:/ - this is the sequence:

conf t

boot system flash:/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin

you do not need the /

Yes he does.
This worked for me also.

Thanks

I resolved with command

conf t

boot system flash:/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin
