I got the same problem with XP. I agreed with you, it seems like HD is still writting
/ reading during powerdown, leaving open archives in the operation. That causes chkdsk
starts on startup and, if you got bad luck, some important system file corrupted
and no boot at all. The issue disappears if you restart instead shutdown, and shut
it down manually after reboot.
Anybody out there got or knows about any solution?
Thanks in advance
