stone123,

How did you obtain the "...new IOS for the router on the hard disk,...?"

I like the TFTP application called solarwinds. I have heard of others using Pumpkin. DL one of those to your desktop and it should create a directory under your root drive filesystem named tftproot or maybe Inetpub. This is where your IOS should sit when you extract the IOS from the TFTP server. You can specify which directory should be the active tftp directory. When you start solarwinds, it just makes your machine listen on port 69. Theers really not a whole lot of "conversion" per say. YOu will have to make sure your tftp application is set for send and recieve. so you can save IOS' to the tftp server as well as pull from it.

Once you have that setup, you need to link the computer to the routers ethernet port witha crossover. Then give your router's ethernet port an IP that is in the same subnet as your desktop. Png the desktop to make sure you have connection. Then use your commands to transfer the files.
