Very very stange... About XP & samba & PDC it's necessary to make some
modification on XP registry...

# 1. You need to Have Samba 2.2.1a, or greater.
# 2. You need a copy of XP 2600 Pro.
# 3. Create a user on the Samba server than has the ability to join the
Samba domain.
# 4. Create a machine account on the Samba server. More about this is in
the Samba PDC HOWTO.
# 5. In XP pull up a command prompt and type "net use * /d" this will
disconnect the XP machine from ALL shares on the Samba server, this is
required.
# 6. Right click on the My Computer Icon. > Properties > Computer Name >
Change > Domain, and Enter the domain name to join, It will prompt you
for a username/password.
# 7. Reboot XP
# 8. Go into your registry and Change the following Value to "0" instead
of "1". Such as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters\
"RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:00000000
# 9. Reboot
# 10. Login to your Samba PDC!

But your problem it's different.... My by boot from a recovery disk and try:
format C: /q/u :) :)
