depends. if the win98 cant see the cd or read the cd software wont help.
if it can see the cd and its contents, but just doesnt know what its looking at (eg, you have burnt an avi to the cd which 98 cant see) its probably just a matter of getting specific drivers for the file type.
we need to know what kind of files your burning, whether the xp machine can see them and run them once burned, whether the 98 machine can see them at all. it will also help to know if xp was factory installed or self installed.

try using the cd on a friends/work/school etc pc. if they cant view it its a problem with the burning process. if they can view it, it could be a problem with the cd-rom
