Sorry to sound like such a novice (b/c I am) but what is my exact problem.
What is my goal I should try to accomplish?

I was trying to reload the CRWS into my webflash and it asked me if I wanted to erase my flash and I think I pressed yes.

I want to say that I thank you for your quick response.
So all I need to follow these steps?
Thanks

Yes.  You erased the IOS.  You need to load the IOS.  Follow the steps in disaster recovery as posted.

I do not have a copy of IOS. Do I need one?
I only have tftp set up.

Thanks

Should I chose to do this?

rommon 2 > confreg


           Configuration Summary
   (Virtual Configuration Register: 0x2101)
enabled are:
load rom after netboot fails
console baud: 9600
boot: the boot helper image

do you wish to change the configuration? y/n  [n]:

Yes.  You will need a copy of IOS from

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/Iosplanner/Planner-tool/iosplanner.cgi

No.  Do not worry about the confreg command.

Just

IP address of the router.
     

IP_ADDRESS= ip_address

Subnet mask of the router.
     

IP_SUBNET_MASK= ip_address

IP address of the default gateway of the router.
     

DEFAULT_GATEWAY= ip_address

 
     

 
Variable       Command

IP address of the TFTP server from which the software will be downloaded.
     

TFTP_SERVER= ip_address

The name of the file that will be downloaded to the router.
     

TFTP_FILE= filename
Optional Variables

These variables can be set with these commands before using the tftpdnld command:

Variable       Command

Configures how the router displays file download progress.

0—No progress is displayed.

1—Exclamation points (!!!) are displayed to indicate file download progress. This is the default setting.

2—Detailed progress is displayed during the file download process; for example:

    * Initializing interface.
    * Interface link state up.
    * ARPing for 1.4.0.1
    * ARP reply for 1.4.0.1 received. MAC address 00:00:0c:07:ac:01

     

TFTP_VERBOSE= setting

Number of times the router attempts ARP and TFTP download. The default is 7.
     

TFTP_RETRY_COUNT= retry_times

Amount of time, in seconds, before the download process times out. The default is
2,400 seconds (40 minutes).
     

TFTP_TIMEOUT= time

Whether or not the router performs a checksum test on the downloaded image:

1—Checksum test is performed.

0—No checksum test is performed.
     

TFTP_CHECKSUM=setting
Using the TFTP Download Command

The steps described in this section should be performed while in ROM monitor mode.
Step 1   Use the appropriate commands to enter all the required variables and any optional variables described earlier in this section.

Step 2   Enter the tftpdnld command as follows:
rommon 1 > tftpdnld -r

RPPreacher,

You have been my biggest help ever...

I am having trouble entering an IP adress. Below is a copy of my hyperterminal:

rommon 13 > IP_ADDRESS= 10.0.0.45

monitor: command "IP_ADDRESS=" not found
rommon 14 >

I went to the link and it said my login failed...
Can't find a cisco IOS Cd anywhere...
Do you know where I could find a copy of IOS?   ( email me: Ianm@rivamotorsports.com )

Does this look like a disaster to you?

Got it to work, but I still need to IOS software, I tried to use IOSHUNTER 3.2
It did not have c831-k9o3y6-mz.122-8.yn.bin

What good places could I find this Image? I tried another one that was similiar, but it took up too much memory.

Got any ideas?

( I will award you the points, thanks for the support)

Let me know about the IOS

I sent you some email info.  Confirm.

Hello RPPreacher:
I am very grateful for getting your email. I loaded it using TFTP and I reset the router using the confreg 0x2102 and it keeps rebooting with the following:  Please let me know what you think.

Thanks for all your help

how much memory do you have?

Wow the help is excellent.
I got the file, but how do I make my router stop trying to boot. How do I enter Rommon?
I powered it off and on and it still keeps rebooting over and over again without a command prompt.
P.S. I am out of points ( my max was 150) I and going to get a month of membership and give you 500. I also can set another forum and offer those 5000 points to you as well. You could keep racking up the points with this case if you want. I will let you know when I get more points, then we can open up different cases.
Let me know if this interests you.

Would you like to open up another forum?
Let me know, I just got a month of unlimited points.

During boot just press escape

I tried nothing happened. I also tried to press the break button.

Got it to work. I had to go to the server and press the CTR-break keys and it stopped rebooting. I then used the new image file and it booted up and actually saved all the configurations before the disaster.
You are the man RPPreacher. Thanks for all the help!!!!! couldnt have done it without your help.
I would like to know if you would help me in another support case?
It is about the same product and I got questions and issues with the CRWS.
Also, I am very interested in cisco and how flash memory works and other interesting stuff.
Please help me in the other forum. I will keep giving you 500 points. I got unlimited for the month.
Thanks again
I have the following support forums out there: ID: 22420260  and ID: 22420266

I will be back tomorrow morning....
