| Not sure which microsoft NG to post this to but maybe someone can point me
| to the right place.
|
| We have 5 systems, all raid 5 with three scsi disks running XP-PRO, all with
| latest antivirus and updates but not including SP2. None on the internet.
| One system takes 10 minutes to shutdown and the 3 drive lights are
| constantly flashing and you can hear the disk churning. All systems have
| identical software AFAICT. I dont see anything unusual in the event viewer,
| no hard drive errors, etc. I tried deleting a bunch of tasks but it didnt
| make difference. Could not delete all tasks however. I tried leaving the
| task manager up but it disappears immediately. At the point that the system
| normaly would shut down, the screen goes to a blue raster with the mouse
| pointer as the only object shown and then the disks grind for 8-10 minutes
| before the system finally shuts off.
