With so many postings on this subject, it appears to be a major problem with xp (and/or some hardware compatibility problem?).

My 3-month old HP notebook with xp home edition also started with "lsass.exe system error - the specified domain did not exist" problem from yesterday. The system gets in a loop without booting in xp. Have tried safe mode and last known good configuration, still no luck. (The only new thing I did was switching my network a week ago from hardwired Linksys cable/dsl router to Linksys wireless router, and the system was working fine until yesterday.)

There isn't much documentation to fix this problem at Microsoft site and HP tech support wasn't of much help either. HP recommends restoring system to original configuration with their provided system CDs (HP didn't include WinXP install CDs with the system.). They also suggest getting setup disks from microsoft and booting the XP with the setup disks.

Can any one help with their experience of successful boot and/or data back-up before doing a complete system restore? Thanks.
