It's incredible to find this thread! I was experiencing the same problems in Windows
2000, even worse cause the ntfs corruption often caused BSOD in my system. At first
it's was difficult to find a relation among constant blue screens and ntfs corruption
till I noticed that chkdsk eliminated them for the next 3-4 reboots. After that,
ntfs went sick again with the sympthoms you described. I started to think about shutdown
problems when I noticed that the hd red led was always still on when Windows performed
the powerdown (seems it didn't wait for the hd to stop). Yesterday I found this holy
thread that has confirmed my suspicions. Now I wish there was an easy way to disable
the auto-powerdown feature and return to the old "It's safe to turn off your computer"
screen. It's annoying to search the net to see that everyone has exactly the opposite
problem (their auto-powerdown feature doesn't work and they want to enable it). I
know I could possibly disable the ACPI from the BIOS setup and reinstall Windows
2000 to get a non-ACPI hal... but this method sucks. Hope that Microsoft adds that
delay in SP4, will they?
Thanks a lot, you have saved me from a horrible headache.
