              If it is on the CD, it cannot be removed.

              Where did you get this CD?

                If this is an official Driver CD and it has Reboot.exe on it, it must have been put there on purpose by the manufacturers.

                You cannot re-write and add files to a CD. (However, CD-RW's have an option to let you remove everything and start over).

                I suspect that there is another problem with your computer.

                Just a question... Is that a HP computer by any chance?

                I'm just asking because there is a file called Reboot.exe on the HP computer I have here.
