I don't think it was Windows but more the BIOS at bootup not initialising the drive or whatever - I've only had this happen to me once before, and that was also when I left an Audio CD in it, although this was on an old PC about 5-6 years ago. Being a "recent" CD you have, it might have some dodgy thing on it from the RIAA to prevent copying or whatever so it's not a standard CD or something as far as it's TOC structure is concerned
