    Most PCs by default are set to boot from CD/Floppy before Boot from HDD.  If you didn't change this then it doesn't matter, but if it changed on its own something is screwy in your system.

    Doubt it would be linked to a Virus since that change is done in the bios.

    So all you have to do is Put the CD in and thats all??? Nothin else, it reboots fine and then its done? Its not broken or anything?

    Something MIGHT be wrong but right now you need to Boot your computer first so you can find out more and Fix things so yea boot up.

    Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981

    did you have a message that your hard drive wasn't found or anything ?

    now seems like a pretty good time to back up your data if you ask me.

    It could have simply downloaded an update from the net overnight and rebooted on its own,sometimes this happens to me. Did you leave a bootable CD in the drive tray? This can cause the OS to boot directly to CD as well.

    Can you get into windows or does it stop at the boot from cd bit?
