RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Erasing Cisco Pix 515 flash RAM

you can also try replacing the NIC card first - we just had an issue with an older PIX 520 that wouldn;t take an OS upgrade due to an incompatiblilty with the installed nics.  Symptoms were it would just constantly reboot.   Sincerely, Support Department Global Web Solutions®, Inc. 804-346-5300 x112 877-800-GLOBAL (4562) x112 http://globalweb.net From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darin Cox Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 10:24 PM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Erasing Cisco Pix 515 flash RAM This is way off topic, but I'm desperate so I'm appealing to the list...   We just purchased a used Cisco pix 515 running 7.0(4) that won't boot due to what we believe is a corrupted startup-config.  Does anyone out there know how to clear NVRAM on a pix from monitor mode?  We can't get to enable mode due to the corrupted start-config, so it has to be done from monitor mode.   We've tried everything we can think of, even a special flash erase image from Cisco, but it needs the Pix to be running 6.2(2) to work, and we don't have that image.   Any Pix experts out there have any ideas?   Thanks in advance, Darin.
