I have a compaq presario 2500 laptop.Yesterday when I switched it on I got
the above message. It also says " Security Accounts Manager initialization
failed because of the following error: The handle is invalid.Error
Status:0xc0000008.Please click OK to shut down this system and reboot into
Safe Mode,check the event log for more detailed information"
What do I need to do to fix this? It just keeps repeating like I am trapped
in a loop.
You can either proceed with reinstalling the Windows from square one or if
its still possible use recovery console either way it will need your
original windows copy ( Disk / internal partition )

The laptop came with windows xp home on it.How do I go about this? Not only
do I not have the disk but I am reasonably sure I never had one.
The minute I switch it on I get trapped in the loop.How do I avoid it?

It probably has a repair partition (which brings it back to the as delivered
state).
I am sorry to say, but the fine manual tells you how to access the
partition.

Jim is right it comes with manual ( branded system has different procedure
with destructive installations ) Better if you can contact HP/Compaq for
assistance - inquiry on how to proceed with reinstallation of the Windows
which I believe you have in your recovery partition.
