My 2960 + switch missing a flash: drive
I think Someone put a S1(config)#format flash: in global config mode.
If I go to rommon mode and do a Switch: format flash: will it recover the flash drive?flash: drive missing, LAN Switching

I am still not in the ROMMON mode so fsck is not running yet.

Dont think so. If you have access to the switch in rommon mode, you´re going to need to transfer another IOS and boot the switch from this new IOS.

I have seen the output to the command "sh version" and "dir".
Reboot the switch and upload the IOS using XModem.
If the same issue re-occurs, the switch flash is kaput.

Thanks.
I just got the switch couple years ago before the pandemic not being use for the last two year. Do you think I could get it fix somehow?
My student told me because the power cut off while it is booting. We went to XModem a new IOS to the flash: the day before. And now the flash: is missing. Not sure if all these are related.
Anyway, Thanks for the help. I will power cycle it and see what happened. Maybe it will work again.
Thanks.
