I'm trying to erase the system flash but I keep getting tihs (Device in exclusive use). I also tried loading over the existing image but no luck. Can somebody give feeback about this. Thanks.

I'm not able to install over the existing image on this device.

Is there a read-only button/tab/slide bar on the compact flash? It sounds like it is locked to read-only

Also, check this field notice and see if your system falls into this issue:

Can you provide output of "sho flash:" and "dir flash:"
