Configuring 2960-S

The flash: file was corrupt so I have been trying to put a new iOS image on the switch.  The problem is this: I cannot write to the Flash: without HOLDING the mode button.  THis means that when i try to use the xmodem command to download the iOS image I would have to hold the MODE command for 20+ minutes to accomplish this.  My fingers are strong but thy are not that strong.  Does any one know if i can change having to hold the MODE button down or is this purely by design?

Hey Tubbie,

This should not be the case, check the software recovery procedure:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12-2_53_se/configuration/guide/2960scg/swtrbl.html#wp1452100

HTH.

Regards,
