Depending on what your computer was doing when power went out, you could have file system corruption. If your computer was in sleep mode when power died, you may just need to diable sleep then enable it to clear its "memory" as it were.

insert the OS cd or bootable CD with chkdsk on it. if using os cd, hit r for repair console

run chkdsk /r

should fix it.
