BACKUP REGISTRY BEFORE ATTEMPTING FIX!!

Check the following Registry entry:

hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windowsnt/currentcontrolset

look for "powerdownaftershutdown"

double click and change entry from "0" to "1"
without the quotes of course.

Good Luck!

Thank you for your answer.

However, I cannot follow the registry key entries ... I can trace up to hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windowsnt/

I cannot find currentcontrolset immediately after ...windowsnt... so really cannot locate powerdownaftershutdown

Boot into Dos and run a scandisk.exe first. It can fix some corruption problem that leads w2k to restart in order to run a scandisk at boot time.
