Will Not Boot Fm CD-ROM

[KenP]

Windows XP Home - I'm getting LSASS.exe error, failed to initialize
(0xc0000005) with only OK option. When I click OK, system halts with black
screen and cursor. HD light goes off and no othr activity.

I am trying to just reload O/S but can't get it to go to CD. I've set BIOS
boot seq to the IDE CD-ROM device vs HD, but system will not load fm CD.
System does not give Press Any Key To Load fm CD or anything, just goes
straight into startup where I get LSASS.exe error. I've tried pressing F12 to
access boot options, select CD and still nothing.

Only thing I could think of is bad CD, but I have two and have tried both.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Since you know the CD you have boots other systems and you've set your boot
priority to the optical drive first, you know the problem is either with your
optical drive or motherboard. Easiest thing is to swap out the optical drive
for a known-working one to test.

LSASS is the name of a WinXP routine: but
http://ask-leo.com/what_are_lsass_l...know_if_im_infected_what_do_i_do_if_i_am.html
says "The Sasser worm is the most recent and one of the most virulent
viruses to impact Windows-based systems. Unlike previous outbreaks, Sasser
doesn't even need you to use email or even be at your machine to infect your
computer and continue spreading. It exploits a recently patched
vulnerability in something called LSASS.EXE."

I don't know if this will be of any help, KenP but have a look anyway.
Good luck.
