MoreHai friends????. I am using a desktop PC having the following configuration: OS: Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 Processor: Intel Pentium 4 (2.40 GHz, Prescott) RAM: 1GB DDR, 400 MHz Antivirus: AVG 8.0.227 (Up-to-date) The PC was working fine without any problems until yesterday. Unfortunately, from yesterday onwards, when I am trying to ?TURNOFF? the PC, Windows shuts down, but it automatically restarts again and I am not able to turnoff the PC and I need to switch off the UPS to shut down the PC. Kindly advice a solution to this problem.

Are you trying to set up a raid configuration? If not I would reformat using the 98 disk and reinstall. (You may be able to skip installing 98, try installing xp first and it should ask for the disk containing the software (win98) that qualifies for the upgrade.
follow this steps bro.
1. restart your pc.
2. press delete button till 1long beep correspond while on reboot mode.
3.configure your BIOS and set first boot for cd or dvd rom drive.
4.insert your windows xp installer that u've use, then just select repair mode operation to fix your operating system files.
Normally installing the os on a different mechine, and then putting into another pc dosent work.
If the hardrive is the oringinal drive, which came with the system, and you want to install xp on, you will have to use a dos disk with fdisk on it, delete all partitions on the drive and create a new partition, then start loading windows, it will give you the option to format the drive for nt(ntfs) file system and setup windows.
If you do that and it still gives you protecting files error, you will have to take the side panel of the computer tower, unplug from the mains and take the cmos battery out for about 30 secs, put the battery back in, plug in the mains and reboot the computer, start loading windows again Hope this helps and post back if you need further assistance.
It could ofcourse be a virus, so I'd recommend a system restore back to before that happened. If that doesn't help load a backup or do a clean install.
Could also be the power connector on your motherboard is shorting with the reset connector (they're right next to each other) Maybe you'd check that first, before the clean install. Don't know if that mobo has a reset button though. They're usually in the right bottom corner of the mobo, together with all the other front panel connectors. Maybe you could insulate the power and reset buttons?
Else you could always buy socket with an off/off switch, and connect the PC to that. Just shutting it down and than turning off the socket when the reboot starts won't hurt the PC.
The software I use is VMware, virtual machine. I am able to run Vista as my main OS, and run vmware to use windows XP without shutting down. VMware runs like any program with an icon on the desktop.
1.Try booting into safe mode (F8 on startup) and then uninstall the update or you can run system restore.
2.try going to the advanced boot options and choose "Last known good configuration"
3.The last option is 'to do a repair install' if you have a Windows XP CD you can just do a repair of the OS.
reinstall the OS ! Just overrite it over the previouse xp so u won;t lose data ...
..most probably u are missing some files ... .. or u have virusez issues. Ofecourse there is the posibility of hardware mallfunction, but considering microsofts reputation ... probably thats not the issue ...
