Shinma--Thanks for replying. But your answer does not quite seem to jibe with the info in the link I gave earlier.
Here is a quote from the link above
"If you choose to download an ISO file (so that you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB flash drive), copy your Windows 7 ISO file onto your media and, run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. After you do this, you can install Windows 7 onto your computer directly from the USB flash drive or DVD."
That seems to say that whether creating a DVD or USB Flash drive, it will be bootable, whereas, combined with your comment, if the Download Tool is not used, the DVD or USB drive will not be bootable.
Is that the correct interpretation of the reason for use of the Download Tool?
If so, I guess all the DVD's I made of Windows from TechNet downloads are not bootable. ????
