I had to do some work in Windows today. Actually, updating a server and looking for the download for a service pack. Can I just say now that Windows live search doesn’t work? Here is proof.
That’s almost as good as my favorite-est error you can see on a PC. I’ve mentioned it before, but it bares mentioning again. On boot, during post, I love this one.
–No keyboard present. Press F2 to continue
Yea, the world is full of stupid error messages.

My server has the no keyboard bios bootup message! The cool thing is, should you plug in a keyboard at that stage and press F2, bootup resumes.

Most servers are configurable to not have a keyboard. But most desktop PC’s will throw that error, or something very similiar, when a keyboard isn’t there. Heck, I’ve seen BIOS errors without a mouse too.
