Computer still shutting down three hours later...
I was trying to save an ISO file from an old CD using ImgBurn so I would have a backup copy of it. The CD got through 585,234 KB of 595,225 KB and stopped running. I tried to exit the application, tried to end the process, end the task, etc. and it would not end. I finally decided to just shut down the computer in hopes that it would kill the task. Now my system has been shutting down for three hours. I do not like doing a hard shut down because it can damage hard disks and cause hard disk corruption. Any suggestions?
I am also curious: what is the longest other people have waited for their system to shut down before it accomplished the task? Anyone as patient as I am when it comes to avoiding hard shut downs?
