Security ID Error

Hey guys, I really need help with this. I get this error screen whenever I try to load up Windows 2000:
"Security Accounts Manager initialization failed because of the following error: The security ID structure is invalid. Error Status 0xc0000078. Please click OK to shutdown this system and reboot into Safe Mode, check the event log for more detailed information" Well, I have rebooted, rebooted in safe mode, rebooted in last known configuration, let it sit for a while, etc.... and it will not let us in. Safe mode gives us the same error screen. If any has any advice it will be greatly appreciated. I have a LOT of important data that I can't afford to lose.

What error ID number are you getting and did you change anything with permission (NTFS) or modify any folder for Active Directory or anything?
When did this error show itself? After a hardware change, software installation, etc?

The error # is 0xc0000078. 8504 was also a number I found for it from this error sheet. I didn't do anything with it- Just a simple restart and it came up.
