Yes, you should have removed the CD before rebooting. I suspect
that your computer is trying to find an operating system on that CD
from which to boot up, so just pop it out and everything should work all right.
Actually this is incorrect.
The operating system you're installing JAWS on, be it XP or Vista or
any other supported OS is on the computer, it is not on the JAWS 9.0 CD
The only things on the JAWS CD are JAWS, and the training materials from FS.
So if you reboot the computer and there is no JAWS 9.0 CD in the
drive, you are likely to get an error message, saying that no CD is
present to install JAWS. Remember, you're installing from the CD and
if no CD is there, well you get the idea.
The only time your JAWS CD is not needed is if you install the
version available on the FS website. and in some cases, depending on
what your situation is, especially during a clean install, you may
need to insert your authorization CD first. But in a case like this,
all you need to do is let the computer reboot and after a bit in
which you'll probably hear some unusual clicking noises, the
instalation will start. You may also hear a message telling you this
but I haven't installed from the CD in a while so I can't say. But
in the downloadable version, you can read the status line and you can
determine where you are in the install process.
Hope this helps.
