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.

Can you explain this a bit more?

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

Post by: evilfantasy on September 01, 2008, 10:33:49 AM: There is a virus called Reboot.exe but then there is also the legitimate Reboot.exe.

Contact the motherboard manufacturer and get a new CD or find out what the problem is.
