Windows Xp Restart

[Valjean]

I am running Win XP Home & Roxio Easy CD DVD 6. For sometime now when I eject a CD it restarts my computer. MicroSoft has no answer on their "send error report". I did not have this problem for a few weeks & then tonight it happened again. I think it does OK when ejecting a CD-RW but restarts my computer when I eject a CD-R. The message says I have recovered from a near fatal error. When I tried to eject a CD-R the message asked if I wanted to be able to open on any CD drive... This CD is not re-writeable. Then on ejection the comptuer shut down.

One thing to try, Add/Remove Programs – Roxio, select Repair.

 

The next thing is to track down you drive by make/model and see if there is a firmware update for it.

 

I think it is going to take the later as all the software is doing is sending an eject command to the drive. Something is happening after that, that produces a reboot…

 

Let us know if you ever hear from MS on any of those "Send"s.

It seems to me there is a lot of missing detail.

 

For purposes of writing, R and RW media are pretty much the same. If you are using a Sessions-based program such as Classic Creator, you can do single-session or multi-session discs with either medium, and likewise you can format either for Packet-Writing (Drag2Disc, Sonic's DLA, Nero's InCD, etc).

 

R media is 'burned' by 'cooking' a dye to create the pits and lands which are the optical equivalent of magnetic 0's and 1's. RW is 'burned' by melting and re-crystalizing an alloy to create the pits and lands, and it is possible to 'erase' the entire disc and return it to the original flat state to re-use it.

 

So whether or not the disc is RW doesn't seem to be an absolute answer. Whether you are using Sessions or Packet-Writing more relevant, because there is a difference in how the session is ended.

 

Another piece of information missing is the Operating System. My Win98 SE was pretty comfortable doing what I told it, when I told it. My WinXP felt it knew better than me, and would get around to doing things in its own time - which is how it "ate" my zip drive and some zip discs. I made the mistake of using the eject button rather than right-click and eject and then wait until it was ready to let go.

 

So I think more detail on which program you are using, what you are doing when you eject the disc (and how you eject it), and what Operating System you have, might be useful for being able to answer the question.

Replying to Windows Xp Restart

 

I am running Win XP Home & Roxio Easy CD DVD 6.

 

If you click start, control panel, system, advanced tab, startup and recovery, click settings tab, then look under system failure, the three box's probably have a check mark, self explanatory.

 

Click start, control panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, on the left click Application first, then System, look for a error (red X in a circle) around the time the pc shutdown on ejection. Double click on the Error/s, see if any of the information listed points to the cause.
