Win2000 and IBM 75GXP shut down patch

[FOH]

I have read many times about the problems with a fast processor being able to shut down a system to fast and causing problems with the hard drive and/or OS crashing. Does this apply to Win2000 also? If so does anyone have a link to the patch to fix it?

No, this issue only occurs with 9x based OSes (98, ME etc..) NT uses are different shutdown process from what 9x uses, which leaves NT based OSes unaffected. However if you want the patch for a 98 or ME, I put up a site with the standalone updates.

Not true, this IS a win2k problem also. It has happened to me twice in win 2K.
I have not found a patch for this OS either.

Thanks for the info.

I had the same prob under Win2K on an Intel D815EEAL motherboard. The solution was to load "Standard PC" kernal. *NOT* "ACPI"

press both f5 and f6 when you first install W2K. (during first blue screen when W2k asks if you want to install scsi driver)

I have Win2k and a 75GXP. Never had a problem.

win2k on a 75gxp hasn't given me any problems either, i don't see the need for the patch

 

[vfrjim]

Ditto here, no problems

 

[Sunner]

Yet another with no problems.

Win2k should not have the problem because, like Win NT it writes all unsaved data to the hard drive before shutting down. This should eliminate all of the problems associated with large drive caches. BTW, I have never had a problem with my Quantum under Win2k relating to this problem.

you can also edit the registry in 2k and specify a delay for it to shutdown, if you have this problem just make this value higher.

 

[rbV5]

What is that registry key?

 

Win2k always writes data to the disk before shutting down.
It takes forever.
I cant see win3k shutting down before the HDD shuts off.
Its slow in that regard.
