switch 3560e not loading IOS

Roldan

Hi everyone:

 

I am trying to have a switch working(some one gave it to me as a gift, is a used switch but it was working). due to their company rules they deleted it before they gave it away.

 

I just want it to hard reset it so i can practice for my CCNA, but i fall into the below issues:

 

when i connect trough console it shows the below:

 

Switch:

 

when i try to reboot

 

switch: boot
Loading "flash:c3560e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE8.bin"...flash:c3560e-universalk9-m
z.150-2.SE8.bin: invalid argument

Error loading "flash:c3560e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE8.bin"

Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
Boot process failed...

switch:

 

so i think that, c3560e-universalk9........ IOS was the one installed before, but i can not download that one so

i downloaded from cisco "c3560e-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin" to try to install that one instead(maybe is not the correct one, i am new in this)

 

but xmodem does not work, veryfied already the settings to 9600 b/p/s.

 

got after a few seconds a pop-up window that states "no response from remote system"

 

I check the flash and the below is shown:

 

switch: dir flash:
Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 2282 <date> config.text
3 -rwx 5 <date> private-config.text
4 -rwx 3096 <date> multiple-fs

57662464 bytes available (9216 bytes used)

 

Can you please help me? i might be doing something wrong.

 

 

also the below is the version if it helps in any way.

 

switch: version
C3560E Boot Loader (C3560X-HBOOT-M) Version 12.2(58r)SE1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Thank you all in advance.
