I know zero about DVD or Win98, but the standard solution in Windows is 
to check in the Device Manager (right-click My Computer, select 
Properties). If the non-working device is present there (with or without 
conflicts) then select it and Remove, then proceed. If it isn't there 
then proceed anyway...

Shutdown and Reboot the PC. With any luck Windows will find the device 
and automatically install it. If it doesn't, then go to Start menu, 
Settings, Control Panel, Add new hardware. Use the wizard to search for 
new hardware, or bypass the search and select the device (maybe by 
selecting "other") and then usually clicking "Have Disk" to install the 
drivers. You probably won't need to do that as you say:

No idea. Linux drivers are being added almost daily.
