I have exclaimation marks by the primary and secondary IDE controllers, and the computer does not recognize the CD-ROM drive anymore. The computer is an old HP4535 running Win98. Can someone help?

Your system is using the i810 chipset. Go to Intel's website and download/Install the INF update for the i81X chipset.
Here is the link: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=18&strTypes=DRV%2CARC%2CUTL&ProductID=178&OSFullName=Windows*+98+SE&submit=Go%21
This should allow Windows recognize the IDE channels properly.
