http://imgur.com/g1ZNC - So I go out to a client's site and forget my OS discs. They have a non-booting server and I want to pull up Recovery Console. I dig through the CDs they have in their server room and find this little guy, still in the packaging.
I pop the disc in the server and boot it up. What HP failed to mention on the disc itself is this is an unattended install disc. I started panicking when I didn't get the normal prompts for install/recovery console. As soon as it started copying Windows files I completely freaked out and shut the system off. I guess it's some sort of upgrade disc because it renamed the Windows dir to Windows.old and so I just had to correct that and fix the boot.ini but holy shit.
I still have the disc, I'm waiting to give it to someone I really hate.
