Hello,
I'm trying to clean install win2000, on my an empty partition of my hard drive. I want to dual-boot along with win95 which is already installed.

At the very beginning of the install, the setup program reboots and then I get a blue screen with this message:

Unknown Hard Error
/system32/ntdll.dll blablabla

My system is PII 350, 64MB RAM, Western Digital 20 GB, SoundBlaster 128PCI, Creative Banshee 16MB.


Any suggestion is appreciated
Thanks

STP

I had my win2000 running perfect until I installed IE 6.0 Beta and it messed things up totally. First, I cant 'type' in the 'text box' that are in IE such as this one that I"m typing in; I have to use netscape for it...

and I cannot un-install any programs because the Add/remove program window displays only icons, no text -

I tried reinstalling win2k and its giving me error about hard error with ntdll.dll.

any clue on whats going on? I cant even reinstall, I cant even uninstall -

win2k runs great until it runs, when it crashes, its like forgeting ur pw - ur screwed :-)

someone give me some advise...


thanks

Nevil

get a fresh copy of ntdll.dll and copy it into the 'installation directory' - this is a directory which the instalation program makes. It should fix the problem; if not write to me, i'll explain in details.
