Hello, I have installed Windows XP on my computer recently and formated the hard dist on NTFS format. I have two more hard disks in the computer on FAT32 format. Now my bootable disk is showing as F disk and C and D are in FAT32. When i shutdown the system, instead of powering off the computer it is showing the message "It is now safe to turn off the computer". I have to manually turn off the power switch at the state. I need the solution for this problem. When i shutdown the system it should turn off the sysetem. Can anybody give me the solution for this problem. Thanks, Gani Pola

I don't know about XP but in other Win systems it is usually because some other program is running in the background (anti-virus, firewall etc. Until you find the exact answer, when you get the message, you will have to press the PC's ON button and hold it for a few seconds.
