I would think removing the hard drive is a more important step no?
... the one you forgot.
If you didn't forget a step?
Would that render them all unimportant?
The one you missed becomes most important.
I help a new CS1 here at the office setup her laptop. Part of the setup was to install SQL 2K8.
Insert CD. nothing happens.
Wait.
Wait.
Still nothing.
Oh. Oops. I put in in the wrong computer. Haha.
Press eject. Nothing happens.
Press eject again. Still nothing.
"Would you happen to have a paper clip? Looks like I am going to have to force eject the tray."
Now a good tech would probably shut down the computer before doing a forced eject.
Me? Nah. Don't need to, drive is not working so there won't be a problem.
Unbend the paper clip. Insert it into the little hole.
*GRIND* *GRIND* *GRIND*
"huuun. Ohboy. Looks like the drive was still spinning, therefore still had a grid on the CD."
Shut down the computer, by means of a forced shutdown as it was not closing gracefully. Drive finally stops spinning. Had to pry it open, and yup. Instant coaster.
you didn't tip her laptop on its side while the CDROM was spinning ....
Another zinger.
I was going to point out that if you put the disc in the wrong computer, you probably should have used the right computer's screen and keyboard to eject it properly.
