Hi to All
I have an old 1700 router that I am using for training. Yesterday I tried to copy the flash to tftp and from tftp to flash. I did confirm to erase the IOS before installing it again. I was very surprised to see that the same IOS couldn't be restored to the router. Please see below for explanation.
