Hi all,
I have successfully repartitioned a 2-partition flash set on a 2500 router to one partition. One flash set was read/write, the other one is a read only and I erased the read/write stick. I am trying to replace the IOS from an IP set to an IP/FW/IPSEC one and need more than an 8 Mb flash partition. When I try to erase the remaining 8Mb stick I am told there is an error erasing the flash, "the device is read only". If I try to just tftp, the error is also "the device is read only".
The manuals (I have some old ones for the 2500s) make mention of possible jumpers on the board but the only ones I see are for the boot ROMs (which I upgraded).
Is there any way to reconfigure read-only or overwrite read only flash?
Thanks,
TSupportEngineer
