it wont work on that system! it may be the wrong boot flash version, some time you need a upgraded boot flash to run newer images. or other wise that image is not made for that system.
however you are getting the error when you try to copy the file, suggesting that it is the copy not working not the running of the bin file on the router
try a
#copy flash tftp
then folow he mini wizard through filling in the ip address and the file name (no need to put flash:xxxxxx jsut the full file name, I suggest you copy and past)

you need to get IOS compatible with 2811 not 2801
something like the following:
c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz
or
c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz
BR
I have already tried it [copy flash tftp] and it gives me an error message [File not found]
But when i check the flash (dir flash) it shows that there is an IOS file in flash ...
that may well be correct, but you should still be able to copy over a file. even if it is not compatable. so there is anotehr issue here.
the archive command for copying tar images on switchs do check and will not copy over an incompatable image. but not bin images...
try a
#sh file systems
on my 4506 you see the following.
as you can see the flash has a different name meaning you need to do a copy bootflash: tftp

you wont copy it to start :)
you need the 2811 versions of the ios, not the 2801.. taht is for the 2801.

but that stilll does not resolve the issue why he could not copy to flash, or was getting a file not found message.
If there is a problem with the file system on the router to begin with as well then its better to resolve the issues one at a time, rather than doing every thing in one go and never knowing what part is the issue.
I have downloaded  [c2800nm-adventerprisek9_i
I have downloaded it from cisco website.... can u tell me weather my 2811 full fill the requirements for this IOS....
This is the latest IOS

yes it's compatable...but if its size 57M then,,as sh flash results,,you have a 33M empty,, so you need to delete the old IOS
and get the new one...
and do the following if you download it to the flash directly:
boot-start-marker
boot system flash:c2800nm-adventerpris
boot system flash
Try and reply
BR
Also make sure to copy the current IOS to a back up before you delete it!

so if you erase the flash memory the router will still carry on running as though nothing has changed.
this is good for two resons.
beacause the router only write/ reads from the flash when directed by a user, ie at reloads or copy run start commands. and powercut is unlickley to happen during this. so it is very hard to croupte the flash memory, and if the router crashes rebooting it will bring it back to an idential setting to when the config was last saved. much more stable than say windows that is constently writing to the hard drive and updating its config but by bit.
secondly it allows you to do the above. you can delete the old image. copy over the new one, and cahnge the boot config during the day. then run a relaod command to secdual it over night out of hours. you can also do this with a start up config. making lots of changes on a test router. then copy over the new start up config to the live system. but again unless you reboot the router the config wont take affect. this means lots of changes can be made to a router while it is up and running, and you can get them all to take place in one go out of hours.
Now if you do relaod after you have erased the flash, the router will first serch for an image in flash.. and once it cant find one will boot in to romm (in fact that is back to front a router allways boots in to rom. and then checks the boot system config and boots the image.
if the image is not there then its a realllllllllll pain to sort out. if you copy the new ios over while the system is still running then you avoid the heart ach.
as for sorting out the boot system:
i do a
#no boot system
as this clears it and then set uit up again,
aslo I have found out on some systems that the show bootsystem does not update fully unless you do a copy run start first.
thanks ... its really helpful

if you ever do have a router that wont boot past the ROMM. ie has a croupted IOS on it or none at all.
there following document will help you get it back up and running.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/Hardware/Networking_Hardware/Recovering-a-Dead-CISCO-Switch-Router.html
I am going to update it soon so it will down load the IOS from a tftp server which is much quicker, however this will get you out of a pinch if you need it.
I am in the office now trying to load the new IOS to my 2811 router from my TFTP server.. I am posting sh ver and sh flash outputs here and the error that I am recieving while copying the IOS to the flash.. Kindly help me out to load the IOS to my router...

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
