Bruce,
This sounds like a very early 2500 with a lot of miles on it. It may be
worth getting the proms upgraded. If you ask Cisco nicely, they will send
you them for postage costs only!

Hi Bruce,
You should change registry "config-register 0x2101". This operation set
flash in Read/Write mode.
Another option is CTRL+Break on startup and commands o/r this also set
flash in to Read/Write mode, then you will be able to erase IOS image from
flash.
In newest IOS versions 12.x) this operation will be done automatically,
after you type copy tftp: flash: router will reboot and change registry.
