ANYTIME - you turn off XP abruptly (Power Cord, hold the
button down,etc) it is likely your disk drive may have corrupted
files. Set your BIOS to boot the CD first. Boot to the XP CD.
Take the recovery console. When you get the recovery prompt
type Chkdsk /F (This will take anywhere from 5 minutes to a
half-hour to complete.) If you are lucky, any disk discrepancies
will be repairable. If not, you are faced with a Repair install &
re-applying all updates.

UPS (Universal Power Supplies) are designed to keep PC's on
in the event of a power failure. Surge protectors are there to
insure no spikes damage the PC. Unfortunately, PPPC is still a
risk to your hardware.
