Well i took out my hard drive out of my compter and put it in a new one and installed windows 98 on it since my first comp cannot read the drive a:/ during bootup since it just bypasses it. So then i put that drive back into my comp(hard drive) and then i booted up and it worked but when i go to my computer my 2 cd rom drives are not there so i cant install my programs. how can i get them to come back.
