Multibooter Shutdown prob

Dear folks,

Could you help me on this?

Apparently, Windows does not perform an ATX cold shutdown if it 
detects that it doesn't "own" the MBR. I have seen this happen 
with Linux also, as well as on pc's with more than one Windows. I 
do not know, however whether it is a bug/feature of bootloaders 
across platforms. It is especially a problem with multibooters 
where apparently the OS that does not detect its own loader fails 
to perform a shutdown. Only way out is a manual poweroff after the 
OS shutdown, which is inconvenient and potentially damaging to the 
hardware.

any ways to byepass this problem?
