Hi, all,

I am cautiously asking this basic question how to make the computer auto boot after the power back 
on.
I don't have much knowledge about Hardware how to make it auto boot after the power
disrupt and come back, most time, it takes only few seconds.
Since I have used this computer as a server on Redhat 8.0 Linux.

The real problem is that the computer I am using ( due to my financial budget) is Emachine model 
T2042. Originally it come with Windows XP Home edition and doesn't auto boot after the power was 
interrupt.

So, most time I forgot whether there was the power was didisruptedr not.
whenever I try to access this machine, I realize that the system was down. and I had to boot 
manually.

It would be nice to have the system auto boot after the power was ddisrupted

Here's the specification for Emachine T2042 below:

Is there anything I can do or something I can do for making auto boot???
