| My husband and I own two "twin" Inves computers (Pentium
| IV @ 1500) purchased at El Corte Ingles in Madrid, both
| running Windows XP Home. When configuring a wireless peer-
| to-peer network, the second computer went into a loop
| giving the error message "lsass.exe" and indicating that
| the computer is seeking a password that is incorrect. It
| will not boot in safe mode and it will not boot even if I
| choose to reinstall the last configuration that worked.
| From what I have seen on the Microsoft webpage and in
| many forums, this is a common malfunction of XP and the
| only solution offered is to reformat the hard disk with
| the shadow disk provided with the computer. If this is
| indeed the case, I obviously want to get all of my files
| off of that hard disk before reformatting. I assumed that
| it would be simple to take out the hard disk, configure
| it as a slave, connect it to the other "twin" computer
| and burn the files I want to save onto a CD. But I have
| been told that the hard disk running XP will not allow
| itself to be configured as a slave and that if I do this,
| the two XP hard disks will both seek to be the master and
| will disconfigure each other. Is this true or is this an
| urban myth??? Please provide me with a solution for this
| problem. Thank you so much in advance for any help you
| can provide.
