how not to boot a PCWhen we were switching from NT to XP a few years ago, we had a couple of test machines set up with XP.
I saw my boss - who has worked in IT for 25 years - standing next to them looking puzzled, so I asked him if there was a problem.
He told me he was trying to switch on one of the machines, but it wouldn't boot up.
I checked the mains sockets. All working.
I checked the cables at the back. All present and correct.
I checked that the monitor was connected and on. All fine.
I asked him to try again to switch it on.
At this point, I realised what the problem was.
He was pushing the floppy drive eject button.
