I have a Asus P2B with a PentiumII 350, 256 ram, and I just installed a 30gig Maxtor harddrive. I was running Win98 on the old harddrive, but I wanted to go with win2000 on the new drive. I removed my old drive and installed the new 30gig, my BIOS appeared to see the new drive just fine, I started to install Win2000 and after it reboots the first time, I get a blue screen, that reads error 0xC0000221 checksum error
OLE32.dll. I tried again but same thing. I have the most current BIOS update and still no good. Nothing on technet about this error. I then tried installing the harddrive using that MaxBlast software that came with the drive but still nothing, I then install the harddrive on my other computer and ran win2000 setup but it didn't work, do you think this may be an actual harddrive problem? I ran some diagnostics on it and it checked out a-ok and both my computers can see it in the bios as a 30 gig harddrive. Can anyone help?
i have been having the same error. the ole32.dll seemed to change a bit, however usually the same, like: olesrv32.dll and so on. i too have an Asus, but a P5a. i beleive i have narrowed it down to either some place in the BIOS (APM, or ACPI - neither of which i have an option to adjust) or its the onbard audio. does your P2B have onboard audio shramj? i used Microsoft's compatibility checking utility off their site, and the only hardware incompatibility it came up with was perhaps the onboard ESS SOLO-1 sound. i dont think this is the problem as i have tried to install a number of times, and a few with it deactivated, none worked.
i doubt it has anything to do with your hard drive shramj.
MORE PPL PLEASE! lets get this figured out!

I just bought a SOYO motherboard to replace my ASUS. Nothing wrong with the ASUS board, just want to get my harddrive working, however it is still doing the same thing. I can get WIn98 and NT4 to load, just not WIn2000. I also forgot to mention that when Win2000 is copying the setup files over, it always misses a file or 2, however the file is on the cd but it for some reason cannot copy it over, do you have this problem? I also tried installing a different ide driver when setup begins but no luck with that either. I will keep looking for a solution. Thanks, Joe

yes i have ran into a couple missing files durring install, but not every time. i must have tried to install 2000 on my Asus setup about 10 times er so yestersday alone turning this and that on and off, and will attemp once again today. i am no further along, even having checked Microsoft, other Tech Forums, general info on ole32.dll and the likes, or info on know issues with ALI and Win2k. im beginning to think this has something to do with the the chipsets on our boards NOT being WINTEL. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

ole32.dll is, AS I HAVE READ, related to Internet Explorer in some way. also in OLDER cases like win95 / 98 its a COM issue in some way. i have spent the entire day looking into this, and this is all i have found :( i think im going for another install, then try a repair befor i give it a chance to crash on me.
im cross posting here, but i hope it gets some attention.

Yes, this sucks, I have tried installing and formatting a ton of different ways, I do not get it. Check this out, I also installed my 30 gig maxtor drive on my athlon based system and got the same results. What kind of drive and what size drive do you have? I really think win2000 isn't loading a proper driver or win2000 isn't seeing the drive correctly. This sucks because I can't even get into Safe mode! I do however, get winnt40 and win98 to still properly on the drive, but no win2000 and I cannot upgrade to win2000. So I know my harddrive is working. Let'm keep looking. Joe

im almost certain this has something to do with AMD, ASUS, BIOS, and or a non Intel based chipset thing (again WINTEL). in any case finding info from microcrap will be imposible, asus hasnt responded to my email, and I CANT FIND ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING ANYWHERE ON THE NET ABOUT THIS! i have resorted to 98 once again until i find out more.
the upgrade option is yet available, but i have been reading more problems with upgrading than i think its worth. :(
shall i.....ummm.......LINUX?

OOOOOOOH, a definition..............OLE:
"Abbreviation of Object Linking and Embedding pronounced as separate letters or as oh-leh. OLE is a compound document standard developed by Microsoft Corporation. It enables you to create objects with one application and then link or embed them in a second application. Embedded objects retain their original format and links to the application that created them.
Support for OLE is built into the Windows
and Macintosh operating systems. A competing
compound document standard developed jointly
by IBM, Apple Computer, and other computer
firms is called OpenDoc."i dont know where the hell i found this, and i dont know how the hell this applies to our problem.

I ended up installing NT4 again, but I am going to keep looking for an answer with our problems, If I find it, I will e-mail you, if you find it, e-mail me. Someone has had to complain to Microsoft about this, I will keep checking the web for an answer. I agree, something with the chipset prehaps. Joe

I listened to what robert said, he had the same problem. Remove your cd-rom and try using a different cd drive. I swapped mine out with my old one, and I got Win2000 to install without any problems. Thanks to Robert for figuring this out. If you have a problem with Win2000 copying over the files, an error stated NTDLR is missing, or if you get a Checksum error, try swapped out your CD-rom. Joe

I might have theanswer to your question. I have a ASUS P3B motherboard with a 30G maxtor drive. When installing Win2000, I got the INACCESSIBLE BOOT FAILURE (0xC.. error). One way to solve the problem is to have the maxtor drive as the slave drive. I tried it and the problem disappears, Win2000 boots normally. Also, HP seems to have a fix called 15to16 which "convert" the maxtor drive from 15 heads to 16 heads (whatever that means). Here is the link to their web page.

I just got the "NTDLR is Missing" error on a Win95b machine this morning. I finally inserted the Win95b CD-rom and it finished loading the drivers that it needed and booted up. I guess that it's just another "MS 20 questions" way to tell us to keep the OS disk in the machine when we are re-starting after some driver updates.

I just replaced my trusty old AOpen AX6BC motherboard and PII/400 with an Abit KT7A (non-RAID) and TBird 850. I formatted the C: drive and installed Win2k on it. No problem whatsoever, until I rebooted. Then I got the exact same behaviour that SHRAMJ did.
I have unplugged everything except the vidcard (GeForce), CDROM (Aopen something), and harddrive (8GB Seagate), but no luck.
I have messed around with most everything in BIOS, and cleared CMOS. Still nothing.
I'll try moving around the HD/CDROM, and also the RAM chips today. We'll see what happens...
Is anybody still following thins thread btw?
