Clone machine running W2K will not shut down and turn off. It closes to the point of bringing up the screen that says you can now power down your computer. I tap of the power button the whole system boots up again. Is it bios, OS or hardware and how do I get this to shut down and power off?

Start in BIOS settings, and verify that power management is enabled.

Next, open device manager.

Click on view, and choose to show all (hidden) devices.

Right click on APM and select enable.

That should fix the shutdown issue.
