This is the error I get when I boot the router...

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes]:

Could this be bad flash meory?
Or maybe the wrong type memory?
I can't save my running config to tartup. I get the invalid at marker error on "startup-config"

I also get this error when I try to upgrade the IOS.

Did you put in the flash memory from a different router? It looks like the router is trying to load the wrong bootstrap image.

The IOS image was given to me by a guy at work. The part that I'm worried about is the message at boot...
