I have installed WinXP on an older machine. It works perfectly with the one following problem.
The hardware is AT style ASUS P5A-B 266 mhz with bios rev 1011 beta 005.
Everything shuts down normally except it never displays the message IT IS SAFE TO TURN OFF THE POWER. Disk activity has stopped and I believe it has come to the point where a newer machine would power off.
Is there an option or patch to Win XP that will cause it to display the good old message like it did when Win 98 SE was running on this motherboard?
Thanks
Bob
