You do not need Mscdex.exe unless you intend to use the DVD in DOS mode. As Windows XP has no DOS, there is no need for it. Mscdexe.exe is a DOS driver.
Mscdexe.exe is run from Autoexec.bat and it also requires cddrive.sys or something similar driver to be run from config.sys Non of this applies to Windows Xp.

Noticing that you have an eMachines, and assuming that it came with win xp, you should not need drivers for it if it says it is included with winXP, just set one up to be master and the other to be slave. WIndows will (should find it on next boot)
(I feel pitty for you, I am using an eMacnines running XP home with a celeron, just a POS)
