Bootstrapping fun
Today I set up a Compaq ProLiant DL320 to run Windows 2000. The installation CD wasn't able to access the SCSI disks, so I downloaded a driver CD and used that, only to find out that you can use the CD directly - instead you have to boot from it and create floppy drivers. I did that, only to find that the BIOS can't be flashed until you flick a jumper on the motherboard. Power down, flick switch, flash the BIOS, power down, flick switch, insert windows CD, add driver, reboot. (Pray)
When was the last time you used a floppy disk?
ETA:
Heh. The OS installed was so old that Windows Update wouldn't run. We fixed it manually though.
