The error "Do not start the sending program yet...device does not contain a valid magic number dir:cannot open device "flash:"" is related to either the corrupted IOS image or bad Flash.Following are the steps which u can try if the memory is as per the requirement:
1) Reset the Flash
2) download the new image

Thanks Martin for your reply.
The problem is that I can't access the flash at all.
You're right about the valid magic number explanation, but I coulnd't find a resource explaining the Bad sector message.
I've changed the flash and downloaded a new image which I've verified its md5 still to no avail.
