Your CDROM May be disabled in CMOS. Go in CMOS by pressing "Del" key at the booting of your computer. CMOS Setup will open. Select "Detect IDE HDD". This wis find your CDROM. IF it find and it still doesn't works then. Open Control Panel And Select "System" Select CDROM and remove your CDROM and restart your computer. The computer will detect your CDROM.

If your BIOS and Windows see the drive but do not read a CD, the CD-ROM is probably bad. The laser that does the actual reading is probably the part gone bad. You will have to get a new CD-ROM.
Try booting off wht Win 98 CD. Make sure you have boot from CD before boot from IDE in your BIOS first. If it boots from the CD, then there is something wrong within Windows, if it does not boot, CD-ROM is bad.
