Quote - Sounds like you're starting to pin the trouble down to the CD drive...

Ok, it's not the CD Drive. I didn't take the cover off and look, but I was copying  my 1.6 gig "My Documents" folder to my extra drive and it rebooted part way through the copying. Again, no blue screen, it just powered down and rebooted itself.

Frustrating as all heck. I'll never be able to move stuff from my hard drive to the external one at this rate.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
