You are in bad trouble here.

This means the ios flash file is either damaged or the flash itself is damaged. If the flash is damaged then the switch goes in the trash.

If it is just a corrupted file then you get the painful task of loading a file through a terminal session using xmodem. This is back from the days when you had dialup phone modems and transferred files before the days of tcpip. It takes forever.

The flash appear to be empty so you can just skip all the steps and try the copy xmodem command. The file name needs to match the file on your PC that you saved the IOS image as.

Cisco IOS images are licensed things so in most cases you can not just download them from cisco you will need to "find" one. There are a handful cisco lets open but I forget which switches they do that with it may only be the small business ones.
