Deleted flash directory from 3560 and rebooted

[Anthony65001]

An IOS update on my 3560CG was interrupted, and when I attempted this again I was met with a 'unable to create temp dir flash:update' message.

I found this thread with a similar problem, and followed steps to remove the flash folder.

After restarting the switch, this has made it worse as there is now no OS on the switch. The switch fails the POST and the SYST blinks approximately twice a second. I read on another forum about using X-Modem to restore the software. 

I have downloaded and installed Extra PuTTY and connected to the switch via COM3 (USB to console cable).

I have downloaded the .bin file that I require and started to follow the guide below. When I enter 'dir flash' I get the message 'unable to stat flash/: no such device' which I guess is because I have deleted the directory. How can I recreate it so that I can follow the rest of the instructions?

In ROMMON, post the complete output to the command "set".

Whao!
Wait. It is not going to work.
If you say the switch is a "3560CG" then why is the switch loading an IOS for a plain 3560.
For obvious reasons, the switch will never boot up properly.

Post the entire bootup process.
If you are able to get into ROMMON, post the complete output to the command "dir flash:".
