unknown cmd error on my 3560 E switch

in CCNA & CCENT
I have an error on my 3560 E and all commands will either say unknown cmd and the only few commands which work are boot and flash init but the rest are unknown or nothing happens.
I get the same stuff
witch:
switch: show run
Unknown cmd: show
switch:
switch: en
Unknown cmd: en
switch: show run
Unknown cmd: show
switch:
switch:
switch:
switch:
switch:
switch: exit
Unknown cmd: exit
switch:
switch:
switch:
switch: conf
Unknown cmd: conf
switch: show ver
Unknown cmd: show
switch: config-register
Unknown cmd: config-register
switch: show version
Unknown cmd: show
switch:
I tried to load new ios but that fails telling me boot is interrupted and other errors. I am not sure this switch is either dead or I may be doing something wrong.
Any help I would appreciate

you can type a "?" to see the valid commands
so an "dir flash:" to see if there is an ios loaded on to the switch.
if there isn't an ios, then you get to use xmodem to download one.
