It could have been running a startup program or playing a song. You interrupted the process and like ghost stories about spirits that can't move on to the afterlife, your computer can't move on till it either finishes that process or it is expunged from the system. The first thing to try is place the DVD that you tried in and see if it will allow the machine to finish what it started naturally. If not then you might try to momentarily un-install the drive and let it refresh. Try to disengage the auto play on insert and re-engage. Finally you might try to find the offender using "Hijack This" which you can download for free. Be careful with what you see in that program. Most of the stuff that it sees as missing Etc. needs to exist. You are only looking for that one process that is causing you problems. Let me know if those ideas work out for you and your problems.
