Vista Autorun Question

If you cancelled the upgrade then it should have 'rolled' back any
alterations it made; that is what normally happens. If anything went wrong I
would expect that, when you re-booted your pc, you would have, probably, got
a message to the effect that 'operating system couldn't be found' or
something similar.

The next time you want to browse the DVD keep your finger pressed on the
Shift key on your keyboard just after you insert the DVD. Don't remove your
finger until the DVD has finished spinning up. At this point the autorun
will not kick in and you can browse your DVD via Windows explorer.
