I agree that sometimes the installer can get stuck "fixing" things that appear to be out of the context of the task description.However,the cold hard fact, is that if you want to get paid for the job, you will have to leave the customer with a working product. Something that might come in handy is to have copies of some of the operating systems with you( customer's rarily can find their copy)..This way, you can re-install the operating system in hopes that the necessary drivers get loaded...etc... Sometimes, Windows 98 is not compatible with your NIC...etc.. or the operating system was somehow corrupted when the customer first loaded it.

I have done a very few which were just a piece of cake, that is they were pretty much plug 'n play but the critical thing I wanna know is just how far into a machine is a contract installer expected to go? I have no problem with installing cards or adapters it's the software or operating system files that I get skittish about. I observed an installer hooking up RoadRunner to a machine and the Windows 98 system was apparently missing files that were needed for the modem to work properly. At what point is an installer expected to concede and walk away?
