Turn Off the Notebook Properly
Whenever possible, turn off the notebook by using the
standard Windows shutdown procedure for your operating
system:
■ In Windows XP Home:
Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off.
■ In Windows XP Professional:
Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off. (If you
connect your notebook to a network domain, the
Turn Off Computer button may be replaced by the Shut
Down button.)
If the notebook does not respond, try the following shutdown
procedures:
■ Press ctrl+alt+delete. Then, select Shut Down > Turn Off.
■ If the notebook does not respond to the ctrl+alt+delete
procedure, press and hold the power/standby button for at
least 5
seconds.

You should use the power/standby button to shut down the
notebook only when the system does not respond to any of
the shutdown procedures listed above. Using the
power/standby button to shut down the system can result in
file corruption and data loss.
