Hi guys

Thanks

I took the internal CF 1G from Core sw has an issue and I insert it as external in another Core switch to check the CF if work, and it works from Another core but as external but when I add it inside the corrupted core sw it gives me no bootdisk: ?

I also did this command:

rommon 3 > boot disk
Loading image, please wait ...

Invalid device specified
Booting from default device
device does not contain a valid magic number
boot: cannot open "bootdisk:"
an alternate boot helper program is not specified
(monitor variable "BOOTLDR" is not set)
and unable to determine first file in bootflash
loadprog: error - on file open
boot: cannot load "disk"
rommon 4 >

but no luck!

And I tried this also:

Configuration Summary
enabled are:
diagnostic mode
use net in IP bcast address
load rom after netboot fails
use all zero broadcast
break/abort has effect
ignore system config info
console baud: 9600
boot: the boot helper image

do you wish to change the configuration? y/n [n]: n

You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect
rommon 11 > sync
rommon 12 > boot disk

What is this history of this line card? Was this purchased from a used-equipment dealer?

No, it was working before but they shift it to new place with wrong way and we lost the ios file and I am trying to let it work again!
