The flash file system is corrupted. Here is a simple multi-step process to fix it.  Be sure and powercycle  (pull the power cord) the switch and not do a soft reset when it says power cycle. - power-cycle the switch After the switch reboots, go to boot menu by selecting 2.1 - Start operational code.2 - Start Boot Menu.Select (1, 2):2 Boot Menu Version: 31 October 2007Options available1 - Start operational code2 - Change baud rate3 - Retrieve event log using XMODEM4 - Load new operational code using XMODEM5 - Display operational code vital product data6 - Run flash diagnostics7 - Update boot code8 - Delete backup image9 - Reset the system10 - Restore configuration to factory defaults (delete config files)11 - Activate Backup Image12 - Password Recovery Procedure15. Select option 6. Answer “y” to the following prompt:This will destroy the file system. Do you wish to run flash diagnostics?(Boot code region will not be tested.) (y/n): y - For number of diagnostic iterations enter 1Input number of diagnostic iterations -> 1 - This process continues by erasing the flash file sectors (1-123). It takes few minutes.Once complete you will notice the followingVerify sector 123 erasedFlash Diagnostics passed[Boot Menu] - Power cycle the switch - After the switch boots, the flash file system gets formatted.- Now you need to enter the MAC address, serial number and service tag.  (These are on a sticker on the back of the switch.  Only MAC needs to be correct for switch to function.  Others are important for warranty)Do you wish to input a MAC address?If you choose no, the currently storedMAC address ( 00:00:00:00:00:00 ) will be used. (y/n):yEnter the six byte starting MAC address (example: 000629328140)-> 00FFF218CB10Entered MAC: 00:FF:F2:18:CB:10Please enter the DS/N serial number of this unit (a.k.a.
