Hi,

the only way to proceed with this CF is to re-format first. To my knowledge Sup720 would recognize both FAT12 and FAT16 formats. The main issue here is that only Cisco approved CFs would work, lots of troubles were experienced with others. If I remember correctly the days I worked with Sup720 those manufactred by SanDisk were OK.

The other way to progress is to get the CF with an image from other Sup720 and copy to bootflash.

Best regards,

Antonin

Hi,

To my knowledge Sup720 does not support xmodem recovery procedure. In my view the only chance for you is to load the image via CF card if ther is none in the bootflash.

Best regards,

Antonin
