!!HELP!! Stop error in install!

[Athenz 0]

I tried to install win2k but from the original DOS blue and grey install screen I get a stop error when it says "starting windows 2000" it goes to a blue and white screen and says "UNKNOWN HARD ERROR" with code: c0000221 on NTDLL.DLL. I have an athlon 700 CPU, FIC SD11 mainboard with viper v770 tnt2 ultra and an IBM 20.5 GB HD, with a 48x delta cd-rom. almost all of this is supported by win2k.

Here is something that is in Technet for WinNT but it sounds like it could apply to Win2k also:

======================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

 

- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

The following STOP message appears when a critical system file or other

file needed to load Windows NT is corrupted:

 

STOP: C0000221 unknown hard error

<path>\<file name>

 

Alternatively, the error may read as follows:

 

STOP: 0xC0000221 unknown hard error

c:\winnt\system32\ntdll.dll (or other specific file/driver)

 

This error can appear in many different formats, ranging from a blue

system error screen to a dialog box. The type of format depends on how

much of the operating system was loaded when the corrupted file was

detected.

 

If you receive this error message, the file listed along with the

error is corrupted. You need to either obtain a new copy of the file

or reinstall Windows NT. If reinstallation fails to solve the problem,

then a hardware or network problem may exist.

 

The files that are checked for integrity as Windows NT starts are:

 

- All drivers (except those loaded by the system loader to boot the system)

 

- All dynamic link libraries (DLLs), including USER, GDI, SHELL, KERNEL, NTDLL,

CRTDLL, etc.

 

- All DLLs loaded into the address space of the Windows NT server (video

drivers, printer drivers, etc.)

 

This error message can be caused when you install an inappropriate driver

for your hardware. For example, this error would appear if you installed a

MIPS driver on an X86-based computer.

 

 

Hope this helps for you as it seems Greek to me .
