In Windows, I copy the files and directories onto the Flash card and reinstall it in the ASA. On my laptop, I also have a copy of the files and directories that I’d copied off the original 128 MB Compact Flash card.

I reformat the Flash card to FAT32 under Windows to see if it is readable by the ASA. But I suspect that the partition size limitations of FAT16 means that this 8 GB Compact Flash card aint gonna fly as-is. The original 128 MB Compact Flash card that came with the ASA was formatted in FAT. It was originally FAT32, and when I stuck it in the ASA and used the erase command in ROMMON mode, looks like it got formatted to RAW by the ASA. The disk is in RAW format, unreadable by Windows. I power down the ASA, extract the Flash memory and stick it into a Compact Flash reader on my laptop. And why does it say “perpetual” for all the licensed features? Is this something that the ASA 8.4.1 normally shows? No activation key, no licenses besides the default Base license, the ASA image is not on the local flash, no config and the flash shows 0 bytes total.

The output of dir /recursive shows no ASA image file, and 0 bytes on disk.

Then I booted off an image on a TFTP server. The superhero origin story so far: I installed a new, blank 8 GB Compact Flash card in my pet ASA, booted the ASA into ROMMON mode and erased the Compact Flash card with the erase command.
