Win2k Error from leftfield, Need help ASAP

HJB417

was formatting a floppy disk using a program that creates win98 floppy disks, It was finishing up and then my computer locked up. I rebooted and I got this error:



<<
LSASS.EXE - SYSTEM ERROR
Secuirty accounts manager initialization failed because of the following error:
The security ID structure is ivalid.
Error Status: 0xc0000078. Please Click OK to shutdown this system and reboot into SafeMode
Check the event log for more detailwd information.

I don't know how to fix it, I go to safe mode and get the same error. I click on OK and it reboots the system. It does this as soon as it boots up (where it loads security policy, network settings, etc). If I don't click on it, it never goes past loading the network settings. Is reinstalling win2k my only option? "something I DON'T wanna do". =(
 
I bet you wish you had an up-to-date Emergency Repair Disk right now.... hell, I don't even know if that would help you. I have no idea what to tell you, sorry 🙁 Anyway here's an early bump for ya.
 
thx, to make matters worse, my win2k cd is at school and I'm spring break. The computer has another win2k installation(don't ask questions) and a winme installation. I tried copying the SYSTEM file from the working win2k installation, but that was a no no go =( And all my apps are on the win2k installation that won't work =(
