Hey

I recently finally got the dual boot with windows xp and ubuntu working. Its a small issue but im just curious. When i shut down ubutntu, it automatically shuts down, but with windows, it doesnt, windows shuts down but the screen goes black and just sits there. It must be something to do with GRUB.

Any ideas on this? Thanks

Unless the system is BOOTING, it has nothing to do with GRUB.

This is a BIOS and Win XP configuration issue. I have attached a link to a post on trouble shooting Win XP shutdown issues, hope it helps.

Yes I think Advanced Power Control options is not set in windows xp..

What they said. I get APC, APM, APIC, and ACPI mixed up all the time. It's one of those.

Ah ok cool, thanks ill check it out.

Yep that worked

Thanks again
