285599	2004-10-28 08:29:00	I have recently installed a SATA drive to increase my HDD capacity for VHS conversion to DivX. As well as solve other issues. I have set up 4 partitions on the drive including the primary XP boot drive. On the two IDE HDDs I have a total of 5 partitions. I have a second OS (98SE) on the first partition of the master IDE drive. Since these modications I am unable to set up XP Home to shut down automatically; I am forced to manually switch the PC off at the case's power button when I either shutdown or hibernate. The two boxes for selecting power options on the case power button & the Microsoft sleep button, in desktop properties>screen saver>monitor power, are completely missing! I have not changed any hardware except for an internal modem since the mods (and the issue was there before the modem install and has been evident since my initial bootup after installing the video card's drivers.

Drivers or the OS? Or both? Or other?	1gkar (6233)
