Prem, you are probably running a very old version of MySQL, 3.23.38. There was an error in the compilation: .... May 30, 2001: In the MySQL binary distribution for Windows 3.23.38 mysqld.exe was compiled with __NT__ defined. If you run it on 95, 98, or ME, you will get an assertion failure in os0file.c. Workaround: use mysqld-max.exe from the same distribution. Fixed in 3.23.39. ....
Fixes: put skip-innodb to my.ini or my.cnf; or run mysql-max.exe; or download the latest version of MySQL from www.mysql.com.
