Why can't the computer find the CD drive after installing Windows 98?

The best way for your PC to recognize the CD-Rom drive is use a boot or Start up floppy. Make 1 from any Windows 98 based PC. Go to START-Settings-CONTROL PANEL-Add/Remove programs, the tab START UP DISK, have a brand new 3½" Floppy disk LABELED: WINDOWS BOOT-UP. It will load the generic drivers so you can install the correct one, once it sees it.
AnswerWIN98 IS A LITTLE WEIRD SOMETIMES.IF YOUR COMPUTER DOESN'T FIND THE CD-ROM GO TO THE CONTROL PANEL AND CLICK ON THE ADD & REMOVE NEW HARDWARE ICON AND LET WINDOWS "SEARCH FOR NEW HARDWARE" IT WILL FIND IT. AnswerThe Operating System needs to see the drivers.Wiki User
