/winnt/sys32/os2/dll

Hi all

First time here, I hope im not asking a question thats been recently dicussed.

Firstly, I did a C/drive disc cleanup which i do quite frequently, but this time it got about 75% through and then my pc restarted, it seem to restarting ok untill it started to load windows, it shows the windows start up screen for a couple of seconds, then goes to a blue page which said it couldnt detect the H/D please check that it is plugged in properly or any new hardware has been installed properly, the only hardware that i have installed was another 256 ddr ram which seem fine (was installed 2 weeks previous to my prob and had been running fine)

I tried starting in safe mode and every other way listed under the f8 menu.
but everytime would end up back to the same blue screen.

Ive now reformatted my H/D thinking that it was maybe a virus, it reformats the c/drive ok but as it goes to reinstall windows 2000 it says either 1 or 2 things. 1st is that it cant create /winnt/sys32/os2/dll folder for windows installation, The second is it gets to 3% and then says it cant copy the file: ariali.ttf either skip or retry i retry a few times but still wont copy it, and when i skip the file, it just says it about the next and so on, it will get past 3%. i dont get both these messages at the same time its either 1 or the other seeing ive tryed reinstalling about a dozen times now.

Iam running a pentium 3 - 2 gig cpu - 512 ddr ram 2100 - windows nt 200 pro.

I would appreciate any help that could be offerd thank you

Make sure that the cd drive pis labeled in bios as the primarey boot devise next comes the hard drive then try booting from disc and installing then.

yes the cd is the first boot device, i am able get into windows setup from the cd, but as soon as it reformats the partition it then says it cant copy the /winnt/sys32/os2/dll folder for windows setup. im thinking maybe my hard drive has broken some how.

Thanks heaps cayne
