Multibooter Shutdown prob 2003-06-03 - By Suprotip Ghosh
Back
Dear folks,
Could you help me on this?
Apparently, Windows does not perform an ATX cold shutdown if it
detects that it doesn't "own" the MBR. I have seen this happen
with Linux also, as well as on pc's with more than one Windows. I
do not know, however whether it is a bug/feature of bootloaders
across platforms. It is especially a problem with multibooters
where apparently the OS that does not detect its own loader fails
to perform a shutdown. Only way out is a manual poweroff after the
OS shutdown, which is inconvenient and potentially damaging to the
hardware.
any ways to byepass this problem?
