Two Problems Here

"It's Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer"
If the message above is the shutdown issue, stop right here. You really don't have a problem with shutdown. While it may not seem like it, shutdown has completed properly. The problem you have is with powering down or powering off the computer. Semantics, you say? Maybe, but almost without fail this can be solved as follows. If you haven't checked for an updated BIOS, that's the first step, then check the items listed below.
Click [Start] [Control Panel] [Performance and Maintenance] [Power Options]
The Power Options Properties Property Sheet will open.
Click the APM tab and check the box to [Enable Advanced Power Management Support]
Power Down Automatically After Shutdown I Select the APM tab and check/uncheck [Enable Advanced Power Management Support].
It should be noted that some users have solved the shutdown problems via enabling while others have achieved success via disabling. Experimentation with the APM and ACPI settings may provide a solution.
Cactus
If so I will format again LOL. Crazy thing here, But anyway than you cactus I will try this immediately, and will post the result soon I HOPE.
And now what about the other? You know why I cannot format using NTFS? And can I convert to NTFS now, and if so how and what you recommend? Thankx for all those helping in these forums.
