I thought you had said "only to find that I had no access to the CD!" It now
seems that you have access to the CD from XP.

Copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive using XP. Reboot to Windows
(or DOS) and reinstall the drivers you need from the hard drive copy of the
CD.

I can guarantee this is not right, because I can access the CD drive from
Windows XP. All I really need to know is:
Where can I find the CD-ROM drivers in W98 (in the Windows directory
presumably) so I can delete them manually? Also, if I do this will W98
then
go looking elsewhere, like the CAB files, for the drivers and re-install
them? Is this an approach I can take?

That suggests the CD drive has failed. Replace it with a known-good
