2950 IOS SWITCH ISSUE
I have another Cisco 2950 24 Layer 2 switch, even though it must have some funtionality to allow 'ip addresses' on each interface!!
the tftp server located on the pc can ping the switch and vice versa.
After doing a 'sh flash' it confirmed that the new ios of 3mb that needed to be copied to the switch, meant that I had to 'delete' the current ios. Ive also rebooted the switch and it is the prompt: (I know I shouldn't have)
switch:
I have nothing on the switch I want to keep!!!!!!!!!
how can i install a fresh ios as not sure how to get out of prompt 'switch'?
After doing a 'sh flash' the ios is now not in the list, but on trying to do:
copy tftp flash
ip address of the tftp: x.x.x.x etc etc, it keeps saying error!!
does anyone know why?

Although I know I shouldn't have rebooted, but because the switch was not allowing me to:
'copy tftp flash' - even though everything was pingable im not sure why. As i 'cut and paste' the ios and typed manually the 'tftp ip address', but it kept showing error, hence reboot!!!:((
so now stuck at:
switch:
