Howdy. I'm a beginner and I have purchased a used Cisco WS-C3560E-48PD , a discontinued model. I am attempting to flash it and have tried several different images from Cisco's Download page, all resulting in `ERROR: Image Family Mismatch`
When I run `sh version` it results in this:
Cisco IOS Software, C3560E Software (C3560E-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(52)SE, REL EASE SOFTWARE (fc3) Copyright (c) 1986-2009 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

I managed to download c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE3.tar from here, which I think is the correct image however I still get that error.
I've also tried:
My method of doing this is with `archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.0.2.7/c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE3.tar`

Obviously, this is not going to work. The image is meant for a 3560/3560G and the platform is a 3560E/3560X.
The correct image should be "c3560e-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE13.tar".
Please post the complete output to the following commands:
sh version dir

You are using incorrect image for the switch, type show inventory and copy the PID from there and then download correct image.
