I don't think that should cause a rebootOriginally posted by Lifer

Does it happen with other CDs? If so, you might want to consider the possibility of a bad power supply or a bad cd-rom drive. I have seen machines reboot as soon as the disc starts to spool up.I like pie.Comment

possibly, I don't have an autorun.nf file, since it's a backup of all some install programs, but my drive isn't set on autorun in the frsti place, so when I put the cd in, nothing happend, so I go to start run and type D: and then reboot, and windows sometimes keeps rebooting ,so i gotta keep itoff, I got a P4 at my other place, but this one has all my important info, i don't wanna formatComment

Formatting will not help if the CD is the problem. It won't help if it is a drive problem either.
It is possible that the cd has some temp file that was added that is an actual reboot file.
Like... if you do a restore, the restore opn will create a temp reboot file... so if the restore function fails, the system reboots using the same initial information.
In the old days, this would have been a modified config.sys or autoexec.bat.Comment
