Disabling autorun is strictly CD-ROM device. The only time a USB flash drive can autorun is if it has U3 technology which makes it "trick" the OS into believe that it is a CD-ROM disk.
my question is that if i cannot reinstall os from cd because i disable the autorun???
No. Only the autorun will be disabled. You can always initiate the autorun yourself by right-clicking on the CD-ROM from within Windows Explorer. If not, then you can always double-click the autorun app.
