ok, it is on the ftp site, I forget that dell puts it into a secure section (?). You're looking for OM_6.3.0_SMTD_A00.iso.001 and OM_6.3.0_SMTD_A00.iso.002ftp://ftp.dell.com/secure/sysman/.  one item of interest is that there are those that believe that SMTD wont work with Volume License media, but in my experience, this has been an issue with the burning software/disc burner/disc reader. SMTD exposes the issue. Because of the way the iso was created by Microsoft, the cdburner has to burn the file a certain way or some readers can have a problem. Typically the issue was that when SMTD would copy the OS disc to a temporary partition at 95% progress, SMTD would kick out the OS disc and ask for the OS disc and the pattern was repeated. I personally have used w2k8 volume license discs with SMTD v6.2 and v6.3 with no issues. What the below message is basically saying is to use cdburn.exe from microsoft, or use the disc at once option (Roxio used to have this, should stil be in there) when using other software. Its also possible that you have a faulty optical drive. Booting to the SMTD and performing a media check would be a good thing to try, if this fails, then the drive itself may be bad. Here is some info we recvd when we were working the issue at our company:  The padding (postgap, 150 sectors == 300k) described is only required when writing to CD media using “Track At Once” mode.  Software which writes CD media often has an option to add postgap.  This postgap was originally (circa 1997) required to avoid the laser running past the recorded area of the track and onto areas which a ROM drive might not understand (and potentially lock up when seeing).  This could occur because a writer actually powered down the laser after writing the track – resulting in a sector of “garbage” (highly technical term) – before actually going on to write the table of contents and the lead-out area of the disc.   NOTE:  CDBURN.EXE, part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit ([URL] always adds an extra 150 sectors of zero data when it writes images (can be overridden using the “-imagehaspostgap” command-line switch).  Thus, use of CDBURN.EXE will avoid this issue on CD media.  They can suggest people try this utility.   The padding is NOT required when writing the ISO image to any other media type or when writing to CD media using “Disc At Once” mode.  This is because, when writing in this mode, the laser is powered up throughout the entire data area and the continuously on through the leadout.  This mode of writing prevents the addition of the “garbage” sector(s), making the disc “safe” to use.  Most commercial CD mastering software available today has an option to write in this mode.       
I am trying to install W2K8 R2 on a new dell R710 server that I bought recently, But I am unable to do so either using the built in server configurator or the accompanying utility DVD.When I boot from the systems build and update utility DVD, It goes through the wizard and reboots to start the installation. But after prompting me to insert the OS media and confirming that the media is correct, it pup ups with the following error message:       “The file ‘autorun.dll’ could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]”      -The first DVD  I used was sent to me from the US via mail and I thought it might have been corrupted so I downloaded the same ISO image and burned it myself to another disk using Roxio but this one also does the same thing      -I then downloaded a trial copy of R2 from Microsoft and tried that – Still same problemIf I boot off of the built in Unified Server Configurator, Setup loads properly, and after I selected the language options, the next screen prompts me to load a driver: “A required CD/DVD drive device is missing. If you have a drive please insert it now”  and it prompts me to locate the .ini file, But I could not find a DVD driver in this format neither on the DVD disk that came with the system or on Dell website, the drivers available for this system on Dell website are .exe files and I can’t install those at this stage (I could not extract them either)Any suggestions ???thanks,
