No shut down

Expand Post »
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

Re: No shut down

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.

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