I have a 60GB FAT32 harddisk partition on a dual boot (Windows XP/Win98) PC. It has worked fine for 2 years. Now, following an improper shutdown and the resulting WinXP 'checking disks for errors' screen on startup, Windows XP can't even read the volume name and asks if I want to format the drive when I try to open it. Properties dialog shows Filesystem: RAW. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the partition as far as Windows 98 is concerned (verifies fine with scandisk), and Linux Live CDs such as SLAX also open the partition with no trouble. There is nothing wrong with the physical disk or XP drivers, since other partitions on the drive are fine even from XP. Is there any way to 'fix' the disc, i.e. persuade XP that it is fine, short of backing up everything and reformatting (not easy since I don't have any large HDDs to hand so I'd have to use a stack of DVDs).

In Windows 2000 operating system, can you command your computer to turn off automatically after choosing shut down? I'm talking about when you go to Start->Shut Down->Shut Down, it loads for a while and then it says "it's now safe to turn off your computer", but I want it to automatically turn off WITOUT the need of pressing the power button but AFTER you choose the command "shut down". (you know the one in Windows XP, it automatically turns off when you choose shut down) Also without the need of downloading utilities.

btw, I'm not talking about the "hibernating" or "stand by" options.

Is there such thing? If yes, then can you give me the complete steps.

tnx in advance :)

Some of the keys on my keyboard are faded. It doesn't bother me, but it can bother other people who use it. Is there any particular pen, or other item, that I could use to identify the most used keys on my keyboard?
