[quote name='corrosivefrost']Stupid question of the day -- autorun.inf tells windows what file to execute on the CD if autoplay is enabled on the optical drive... but that doesn't make a CD bootable. How do I create a bootable CD from one of the downloads I got through the technet subscription?[/QUOTE]
Er... I didn't actually download anything from Technet, but I assume it came as a .iso file?
Do you have Nero? I believe if you have Nero, when setting the burn options you can choose to have it set as a bootable disc. However, I would assume that microsoft set the bootable flag into the .iso already...
