Alright, very odd problem here:

I installed my xp 3 days ago, n its workin fine , today my house loses power
suddenly as I'm using my computer for some text work. i again ON my system
but i find out that CHKDSK not run at startup

but before , when ever i shutdown system not properly it works, kindly guide
me, how i can enable it !

right,

sudden power failures
can result in crashing
the file system, depending
on what you are doing at
the time.

you can run chkdsk
via your windows cd:

if the checkdisk doesn't work
then what likely happened with
the power failure is that the
registry crashed so you may have
to initiate a "repair installation"
with your windows cd:

incidentally, if you had a
UPS battery backup, windows
would have had emergency
power permitting the operating
system to safely power down
and preserve the system and file
when the electricity went offline.
