2.

Verify that IIS can access the MIME type for the files you are serving.

For example, if your diskette image files use the extension .img, you must add a MIME type
for that extension. Use the IIS Manager to access the Properties dialog box of your website.
On the HTTP Headers tab, click MIME Types to add MIME types.

HP recommends adding the following types:

.img application/octet-stream

.iso application/octet-stream

After you complete these steps, you should be able to navigate to the location of your images by
using a web browser, and then download the images to a client. If you can complete this step,
your web server is configured to serve read-only disk images.
