upgrading trouble

hi,

i am having alot of trouble upgrading from win 98... i
tried it a few times, the last time was last night.

i got a dialog box that said there was a missing file and
it gave 3 choices, retry...skip... exit, i retried every
time i got that box. there were so many files i didn't
write them down except for the first one:

c:\$win_nt$.~ls\1386\system32\ntdll.dll

most went in after retrying but there were at least 2 i
skipped. the install never finished... i got a blue
screen that said:

stop:
c0000221 unknown hard error\system root\system32\ntdll.dll

ok, so does anyone have any idea what all this means and
what i should do?

i am running win 98 version 4.10.1998
i have 2 hard drives, one 20 and the other 100
ram is 512
pc has athlon amd 1333

i didn't install my av

i unplugged my printer

i can't figure this out and i am going nuts.... please
please help me.

thanks,
frank

Stop errors come from NT/ Win2000/ XP , you appear to be attempting to
upgrade to XP, better if you post in the relevant XP NG, they are the
experts.
Try Microsoft.public.winxp.general
