This link will tell you how to get the new IOS on there:

It will ask if you want to erase the current IOS, say yes.

Ok I ran the command to upload the new bin but that bin is still stuck in the flash. Is there a command to delete or erase it ? I have other images/bin's to upload i just need to remove it first.

Your operation terminated. Use a different copy of IOS.
delete flash:filename
Did you try that?
Did you try that?
ASKER
NO that command did not work... I've also tried 5 different IOS.bin's....
Does it ask you to delete all the partitions, like this:
Invoke this command for disaster recovery only.
WARNING: all existing data in all partitions on flash will be lost!
Do you wish to continue? y/n: [n]:

Yes,
And if you say "y" to delete it, it does not get deleted? Can you paste the output of everything from the terminal when you try this?

Ok............this is everything that came up....

That error is telling you that the IOS is too big and you don't have enough memory to support.
