Windows 2000 pro-stalls on reboot?,

Windows 2000 pro-stalls on reboot?, Screen comes up black with a white blinking cursor in left corner

if its a MBR error, whats the fix?

i suspected GoBack 3.1 ,disabled it,but still stalls

 

jazzbo - we had the exact same issue with a 2K server and finally located an article that gave the specific cause and an easy fix. But at the moment I can't remember what. The guy that finally located the article is gone for the day but I can ask him tomorrow if you haven't gotten an answer by then.

I do remember it is nothing that you would suspect as the cause.

 

PLEASE forward ASAP

You say on reboot (restart), that means it starts up from power off correctly?

If so does it always shut down and powerdown properly?

If so then do you have any kind of SCSI, USB or firewire external devices.

Yes have USB,PCI card-why would that stop it shutting down & rebooting?

 

Clarify your problem!

By stalling do you mean a long pause, then it boots?

Or from what you are saying you cannot boot at all?

If you can how do you get past this and get it up?

Can you boot to safe mode? Then shut down normally?

The reason I asked about USB! And I asked if you had USB devices attached, I assumed you had USB! Is that some powered USB devices will cause this on some computers on reboot (ie not a shutdown). And your question said reboot as opposed to powering up!!!!!
