Getting the System to POST
- POST stands for Power On Self Test. If a system POSTs successfully, it will then try to 'boot (load an operating system).
- If it fails POST it will never boot, no matter how many floppy disks you try. This is because it doesn't access the drives until after a successful POST.
- Never boot
