    Insert your XP CD and power down and re-boot...
    Press R at the first screen when prompted which will bring up the Recovery Console.
    Type in fixboot and hit Enter.
    Remove the XP CD and re-boot.
    If this does not work repeat the process and type in fixmbr and hit Enter again removing the XP CD and re-booting.

    Good Luck.

    Also, LSASRV.dll may be either missing, or corrupted.
    From Command Prompt, run:
    sfc /scannow
