Error on Upgrade from Millenium

I am trying to upgrade a windows Millenium PC to Windows
2000 professional using an upgrade verion of the product.
After checking for compatability, I get a "Winnt32.dll
has caused an error in Kernel32" error when the process
is about 75% complete.
In an attempt to resolve this I removed all unnecessary
programs including Norton AV 2003, have 30 GB free of 40
total, and ran checkdisk.
I have also tried both options to convert to NTFS and not
to... same result. The CD is brand new... just out of the
box.
Any suggestions
TIA,
Ken

Windows ME came out after Win 2k. This is not an upgrade it is a downgrade.

You need to boot from the Win 2k CD and perform a clean install.

There is no upgrade path from ME to W2K. You need to do a
clean install.
