Corrupt flash on a Cisco 1231G Acces Point

There I was uploading a new flash image to my AP .. it crashed

Now the image is corrupt and only boots to a "AP :" prompt

The command I used was ..

archive download-sw/overwrite/
tftp://10.13.66.1/c1200-k9w7-tar.123-2.JA.tar

I have searcehed the cisco site but can find no information on
recovering from a disastor like this

Any help in getting another image on there would be gratefuly
recieved.
Drop the ZZZ to reply

Cheers ...

First things first ... you might want to be sure that the tar
file on your TFTP server is valid ... e.g. use tar if on Unix
or winzip if Windows to verify it.

Next, from the ap: prompt you can use tftp_init and
tar -xtract to pull the tar file contents into flash.

Thanks for that Aaron,

With a bit of fiddling around I managed to get this to work.
