Default USB CD/DVD support for MS-DOS

I am trying to install my old win98SE on my eeepc 4G which has no internal
CD/DVD drive but DOS will not recognise my USB DVD drive. I have tried
copying the CD files onto an SDHC card and installing, which worked (until I
restarted) when I was met with "Disk I/O error". I have read that for USB
printers on XP "NET USE LPT1" is supposed to work. Is this the same for USB
CD/DVD drives? (net use cdrom!?)

I have already used XP on this computer previously, which works fine, but it
takes up most of my 4GB SSD space, so i'm going with the 300MB of win98SE
instead.
