It looks like your flash is corrupt. You might try formatting it and reloading your IOS.

Thats what I suspect. The router is remote. I intend to upgrade the IOS anyway. If I format the flash. Is my risk is that the router reboots before the new config gets put on there. Or am I at risk already since the flash is corrupt.

I don't know if the flash is actually faulty. It probably just got corrupted somehow. You're correct in that the big risk is that something causes it to reboot during the process. However, if you flash is corrupted, you run that risk right now. If that router reboots, it may not come back up as it is.
If the flash is faulty, you may get some error messages when you try to format it and copy files to it.
