I might as well just hit the power button to shut everything down. On the following page is a fix specifically designed to address this problem... http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fupdates.php3 Here is what I did after downloading the appropriate files... rpm -Uvh initscripts-4.16-30mdk.i586.rpm rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.9-27mdk.i586.rpm I didn't get any error messages when installing these items. But when I shut down, the drive still will NOT unmount properly. Is there something that I am supposed to do besides run the RPM command to install these items? Postman Mandrake 6.0 user =========================================== How are you shutting down?? As root?? "shutdown -h now" (w/o quotes) is the proper command.
