I have downloaded windows 8.1 iso from microsoft and burnt to dvd using imgburn. I can see the file structure on the disc. so I know the disc is getting written to.
This is not my first time burning iso's or images so I do know the difference
It will not boot... i burnt multiple copies just because I could.
I downloaded again.
still wont work.
I know the system is already bootable on DVD because I have another image of windows 7 that I burnt to dvd just to test and it will boot correctly with that dvd and allow me to install windows 7.

there has got to be something wrong at microsoft but they got my money and I did not get a working copy ... I should have gotten the dvd mailed to me instead of purchasing online download option
