Problem with dual OS and hard booting

by sridharsr . Updated 25 years, 12 months ago

I have installed Win NT 4.0 workstation and Windows 2000 Professional (Workstation) on my computer on 2 separate partitions. Before I installed Win 2000, I was able to hard boot by pressing the reset button (after shutting down Win NT 4.0). But after I installed Win 2000, the hard boot seems to be disabled somehow. After shutting down windows, i am not able to switch off the computer by pressing the reset button. I have to select “restart the computer” in the shutdown menu of windows (Both OS). When the computer restarts, I can switch off the machine using the reset button ( while the system is booting). Can anyone tell me how to regain the reset button ?
