"Bad Image checksum" error when installing win 2000

[win]

Whenever I try to install Win 2000 on this Pentium 2 computer, I get the
following error.
"Stop. c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}. The Image ole32.dll is possibly
corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum."

I don't get any errors whenever I install win 98 on the same computer.
What could be the problem.

Try checking to see if your hadware is on the HCL (Hardware Compatibility
List) and be sure you have the most up-to-date BIOS.

Greetings --

Problems copying files during installation are most often caused
by defective or sub-standard hardware; in order of likelihood, either
RAM, the hard drive, or the motherboard. In rare instances, it can be
caused by a defective CD.

Had you made sure that your PC's hardware components were capable
of supporting Win2K? This information will be found at the PC's
manufacturer's web site, and on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility
List: (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp)

You should have, before proceeding, taken a few minutes to ensure
that there were Win2K device drivers available for all of the
machine's components. There may not have been, if the PC had been
specifically designed for Win98/Me. Also bear in mind that PCs
designed for and sold with Win9x very often do not meet Win2K's much
more stringent hardware quality requirements. Win2K is quite
sensitive to borderline defective hardware (particularly motherboards,
RAM and hard drives) that will still support Win9x.
