Wont shut down

[CincyCharlie]

My W2000 machine when I try to shut down, gives a blue screen with the message Driver_Power_status(?)_Failure, then it restarts, rather than shutting off the machine. When I was installing a CDRW drive, I deleted an "unknown device" (yellow question mark icon). I think that is what is wrong. Any help?

Also, while W2000 recognizes the CDRW drive (HL Data GCE-8080N), and it reads CD's fine, I can't get the writing software so see it as a writer.

Try to update your Bios.

Do you have admin priv on this mach if not your burner wont work correctly unless an admin makes a security change. Also have you enable APM in power properties. If so maybe your power supply dont support it correctly. If not see if you can. As for the unknown device if you refresh devices in device manager it should popup again (if you want it 2).

I finally just reloaded W2000 and now it shuts down. I still can't get the CDRW to work. BIOS doesn't see it on bootup, but W2000 lists it in device manager (except it says it is a SCSI drive when its IDE) It reads fine, but as its not recognized on bootup I cant boot from it, and none of the software sees it as a writer.
