Need advise on server problem

[Guest]

I recently ran some updates on an older W2K Server machine. While doing the
IE6SP1 update an error stating that a couple of files could not be backed
up,I didnt write down the filenames. After the update finished. A reboot was
required. But now I'm getting an error and a forced shutdown. The error is:

The System Process: "C:\Winnt\System32\lsass.exe" terminated unexpectedly
with status code -1073741795.
The System Will Now Reboot.

This just keeps looping. I've tried entering the different startup modes and
I've also tried doing a repair from the W2K disk with no success. This
machine also has a damaged backup tape, so a backup of the system is not
available .

Can someone advise me on how to correct this without reinstalling the
OS,,,if it's at all possible?

Thanks,
Richard

have you checked for Sasser infection?

The system wont completely boot to get to the desktop, can a check for this
be done at the repair console from the W2K CD?
