It is a program that will make live disks for a variety of distros. It will automatically download the image as well, if you need it. As for ms installer, if it is the online recovery image, yes. plugging in & booting should be all that is needed. Sometimes there are a few extra steps in the bios menu, if it fails to boot. | |
