Hi Shamin,
As Akardeth explained, you need to make sure the IOS file has been copied
under the folder name and not directly under flash.
Like the "c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a.bin " file should be under a folder
created with name "c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a" under flash: directory.
redo the entire process of copying the IOS and while it asks for the target
location, give the path, "flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a/c3550-
i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a.bin" as the target.
The IOS gets copied smooth.
Then just reboot the switch with the proper boot system command.
Regards,
Subhash.
