I formatted my flash: before I had a usable bin file to copy up or .tar file. Now I am at the switch: prompt and the usbflash0: and 1: don't like my usb stick that I formatted in my other c2690x. How can I get a file on the flash so I can boot from it without using xmodem-1k and it taking 24 hours?

Hello @pgreen,
Cisco Catalyst 2960X switch does not support file transfers via TFTP at the "switch:" prompt.
The method for transferring a file onto the switch is indeed through the use of the Xmodem protocol. Unfortunately, Xmodem transfers can be slow, especially for larger files, as you mentioned. You can adjust the baud rate as @Edson A. Hernandez explain.

Change the baud rate to 115200 on the switch: prompt.
switch: set BAUD 115200
Restart HyperTerminal.
Under COM PORT properties, select the bits per second as 115200.
Start the Xmodem recovery.
you should be able to get the copy much faster.
you could try with 380400 as well
