Did you manage to copy lsass.exe to \system32?

The STOP error you refer to (hex A) usually indicates a RAM problem. To recover your data, here are a couple of things to try :-

1. Boot into safe mode (tap F8 when you switch on) and copy your important data to an external device. The PC is unlikely to boot but you must try it in case it's a driver problem and not a RAM problem.

2. Download memtest from here http://oca.microsoft.com/en/mtinst.exe
Save it to the hard disk, double click it, accept it and point it to save to a floppy disk. To run it, reboot your computer with the floppy in the drive (make sure the floppy is ahead of the HDD in the BIOS boot sequence). After the reboot, it will load and the first test pass will begin using the standard test suite, and continue until complete, unless it is either paused or exited. Once the first test pass is complete, it will begin a second test pass, third pass, etc. ad infinitum. If there are errors you will be able to either replace the offending stick or remove it if you have more than one stick.

3. If you can't access the disk at all, hook it up to a friend's PC as a slave drive and copy your important data. You won't have to fit it in the other PC but make sure it's stable on something non-metallic, e.g. a cardboard box.

Good luck.
