I posted this at another forum but I thought that I could acquire better advice here, because Daemon-Tools seems to be part of the issue:
"Alright, this is a really weird problem. I have a bunch of programs installed on my PC that create virtual CD-drives on my PC, such as Daemon-Tools, Alchohol 120%, and Nero. But somewhere along the line, something must have conflicted.
The problem began when I first tried uninstalling Daemon-Tools because it gave me a "no language support found" message everytime it attempted to start up. But after I uninstalled it, my PC automatically rebooted and when it got to the desktop, it told me that it had found new hardware. I ended up installing something along the lines of a "PnP bios" and something concerning a SCSI RAID controller as a result. After rebooting again and getting to the desktop, the PC began to reboot everytime it reached the desktop so I couldn't even get to system restore. I had to restore my computer through XP's recover console.
I have Daemon-Tools uninstalled now, but it seems that the virtual drive that it had implemented is still there. Also, the other virtual drive in my system that was created by another program (Alcohol 120%) also reboots my PC automatically when I try to remove the virtual drive.
If I try to disable or remove any of these virtual drives under the XP device manager ("AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI Cdrom Device" and "CD-ROM Drive") the PC will automatically reboot by itself. What is the deal? In another thread, it was advised to remove Plug and Play BIOS (I have two for some reason) under System, but if I touch these, the PC automatically reboots.
They have got to be conflicting with each other in a way that reboots my machine automatically. If I look under the properties of both virtual drives, they are sharing the same location, which is "Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0". They shouldn't be sharing the same location, right?
Well, I really don't know how to solve this issue."
Well, that's my problem. My PC reboots by itself anytime I fiddle with anything related to the virtual drives. I'm not sure, but perhaps the problem actually started after I installed the latest version of Nero. The "InCD" part of Nero seems to be screwing alot of things up. I have tried uninstalling Nero. When I go to uninstall the InCD of Nero, it asks to reboot my PC, but when my PC starts up again, many things that normally start up such as Creative Volume Control for Audigy 2 and the shortcuts I have assigned for the extra buttons on my keyboard and mouse do not activate. But that's an entirely other issue...
I have also noticed that I have "AXSAKI SCSI Controller" and "SC3MP28 SCSI Controller" under SCSI and RAID Controllers under Device Manager. I honestly don't remember them being there before but what makes me curious is that the drivers provided by these two are "Generic", rather than by Microsoft or another company...maybe this also has something to do with my problem, I don't know...
