Shutting down windows

Feb 17, 2006 9:50AM PST

I just put a WD Sata drive 74 gig 10,000 rpm hard drive in my computer. When I first instaled the hard drive I did not put in the correct drivers in it. A mistake from Gigabyte. I used the Silicone image 3112/3512 Sata Raid driver. Later on I was told by Gigabyte that I was suppose to use the driver that said silicone image 3112/3512 Sata driver, When I instaled windows a click on f6 when asked to. I did that and every thing worked find on the hard drive execpt When I went to shut down. Windows then told me now it is safe to shut down, that ment I had to shut down manualy. I have three hard drive in my computer, and two have XP operating systems on it. The other hard drive that is on IDE Shuts down fine. When I had the wrong driver on the sata drive it shut down fine. Could some body tell me what is my problem with my computer.
