Steve R Jones --Thanks. I use IMGBurn to create the ISO files on a DVD. The DVD's I create work just fine as installation DVD's. Are you saying they should be bootable even without use of the Download Tool? That is what I always had assumed before reading http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/...usbdvd_dwnTool .
dneilson--I am not sure I understand your post. I have had no reason to use the ISO disks I made from TechNet to boot. What sort of test do you propose? BIOS is set up to boot from CD/DVD first. Of course it skips to HD when there is no DVD in the DVD drive.
I am disappointed at the response I have received when asking for understanding of the purpose/function of the Download Tool.
To simplify my question:
Is it making the DVD's from those ISO files bootable as opposed to not bootable if I just burn the TechNet ISO files to DVD using IMGBurn but not Download Tool?
