I've just finished the installation of windowsxp tonight and switch to
Debian. After finishing the working in Debian, shutdown linux (halt -p) and
then power on the PC again to windowsxp.

XP can boot without any problems before, but it stops at the XP booting
screeen now. I tried several time. Luckily, I tried to shutdown all the PC's
power supply for while in addition to mere shutdown the PC. It works after
30s after the power off.

Does it mean that the problem in XP is due to the residue remaining in the
memory by Linux. Thus I have to carefully when switching from Linux to XP?

That'll teach you! You think Micros~1 doesn't know about your apostasy?

which boot manager are you using?

lilo or grub should work ok...
but some 3rd party boot managers may have problems

1) You may have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst.
2) (shutdown -r now) would be a better command to do what
you wish.
 
My problem has been solved.
I unplug the AGP and PCI cards one by one to check the problem. I find
the problem is in the sound card - sound blaster vibra 128. After I
unplug it from the motherboard, no boot up problem found. Then I try to
change the position of sound card and the pci modem. After
reinstallation of corresponding drivers, they work properly and the boot
up problem does not occur again.
