Power cuts and disk check?

ksh123

Hi
we keep getting lots of 2 second power cuts here (don'tknow why).Of course its always when I'm in the middle of something on here
The thing is when I reboot the system always wants to disk check which is a bit tedious every few mins.
Do I really need to let the disk check run after every one of these short power cuts? Don't want to harm pc but not good at waiting..lol...
any ideas?
thanks

Windows knows it hasnt shut down correcltly so it does this to ensure the disks are ok. If you have had a power cut and it boots up wantint to scan I'd just skip it.

Are you running XP?

thanks for that you guys. and Bill - that's clever, not seen one of those before. They are good to have then?
By the way, Zoner Alarm on overdrive today - blocking an intrusion every 10 mins or so - do you think that its still ok?I h

Intrusion from what? Does it say?

ksh123

yes it does but | confess to not taking note I know it says something about a hub tho..)
I'll take note next time and come back and tell you if that's ok?
thanks

Ok, this is what it says:
"Zone Alarm has blocked internet access to your computer from (UDP Port 1026) from 65.204.123.182 (UDP port 16085)"
I've had about 10 of those in the last hour or so.....
