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
