Guest jones Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I recently reinstalled xp pro after partition and format. When I shut down it does not turn my computer off as before. The computer continues running after windows shut down and displays a white horizontal line across the center of the screen with arrow heads on the right half. Can anyone explain this? Thanks in advance.

Guest jones Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Re: shutdown question Only the sound driver installed. Everything seems fine except for the shutdown.

Thanks in advance. That usually indicate either a forked Installation or your Hard Drive is going Nuts?. Try to Test the health of your Hard drive by download the diagnostic tool for it from the manufacturer website and see if it healthy to have the System installed on it. Start with the recovery console and run this command: CHKDSK /R BTW. why you did the reinstall in the first place?. HTH. nass ---- http://www.nasstec.co.uk
Guest jones Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: shutdown question I lost my harddrive and after installing xp on a new drive it would not start after approx a week. I repaired the operating system and it would not install updates. So, I did the fresh install. I ran two drive fitness tests and all say the drive is fine. CHKDSK did not seem to function right. With the /R switch it would not complete. CHKDSK, alone says the drive is fine. The motherboard is approx 4 years old and may be the problem. k7s5a, ECS Otherwise, everything is fine. The shut down is just weird and I was looking for an explanation. Thanks again.
