The power of zero
In computing and maths remember the number zero, . . I booted up my standby PC today and it wouldn't start, . . went into the bios to check the boot up sequence and there it was, . . boot up from HD 1, . . it should've been HD 0 . . bios settings are set up so you can have multiple hard drives, some sequences can be changed from the keyboard when you switch on so if you cant get it up just check the start up sequence.

On each drive there's a small connector bridging some pins, this is called a jumper, if it's enabled it makes that drive master over the others, the bios chip on the mother board detects this and boots the PC up.
