Reformatting a Flash Memory Card
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to use a Flash memory card from another system
to copy images or backup configuration files; however, you cannot boot from a Flash memory card
that was formatted on another type of system. You must reformat the card before you can use it as a
boot source.
Note For procedures that explain how to remove and replace the PCMCIA Flash Disk, refer to the
Using the PCMCIA Flash Disk document that accompanies every Flash Disk shipped from the
factory.
Note To avoid potential problems when inserting spare Flash memory cards in your router, we
recommend that you reformat all of your Flash memory cards using the recommended minimum
Cisco IOS software release for your platform during your regularly scheduled service times. (See
Table 5 on page 12.)
