Have an Emachine T2682 2.6 GHz Windows XP. Was working when the lite around the power switch and the lite for the HD started to flash. Immediately did shutdown procedure. When the machine “completed” the shutdown sequence the lite for the HD stayed on and it sounded like the HD was still turning. I tried to restart the machine by pressing the power button, as usual, but nothing happened. The lite on the HD is still on… I unplugged then reinserted the power cord from the back of the unit and then tried to restart the machine. It seemed to start, boot, and run normally. When I shut it down later the HD lite remained on and again I had to unplug then reinserted the power cord from the back of the unit and to restart the machine.
What happened and how do I fix it??
