Hi

Use tftpdnld to retirve IOS, you have to go to rommon prompt and need to have tftp server to do that. Then follow the instrutions

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} rommon > set --------- to check the parameters

Paste the following parameters on the PC




Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : XXXXX
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : XXXXXX
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : XXXXXXX


Paste the following configuration on Cisco Router

IP_ADDRESS=XXXXXX
IP_SUBNET_MASK=XXXXXXX
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=XXXXXX
TFTP_SERVER=XXXXXX
TFTPDNLD TO START DOWNLOADING

You may have to reload the OS of the router.
i dont suppose you can kick it into romon mode can you? (usually done by hitting the pause break button on boot.)

if you can you should be able to use Xmodem to reload the OS (as long as you have a copy of it located on your computer)
