Hello,
I recently installed an Intel X520-2 NIC to my windows server. Windows auto-installed it and I can access the device. It is currently working as just a regular ethernet adapter. I need to change it to iSCSI mode. I did some research and found that I need to use the Intel Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility. Here is what I am currently doing:

What is "The -BOOTENABLE command can only be used on flashed combo images"? I have tried to DISABLE as well and it does not take (same error message). I must be missing something but I am not sure what.
