Thanks DELL-Daniel Co , using the GUI sure about be nice but as the switch was some how wiped cleaned there is no running config or anything in it .. its like someone did a facorty reset on it ..

so I havent figure out yet how to get into the gui if there even is one ..

Thanks for the info Dan , but didnt work .. got the same thing , it goes all the way though sending the file via xmodem says everything was fine .. and when it reboots it still using the old SW Ver. 1.0.0.45 ..

Only thing I did find out is that its using software image 2 , there is nothing in the software image 1 .. because when i tried to run software iamge 1 i got "arc file does not exist"

Any other advice ?

Thanks Dan for all the help ..

I tried " copy image 2 image 1 " and got % Invalid input detected

then tried " copy startup-config backup-config " and got Copy: The source file is empty

then tried " copy startup-config image 1 " and got % Invalid input detected ..

any thoughts now ?? or can i shoot it ..

Aloron,

I ran into the same issue but finally got it working. You need to first update your boot rom.
