You were wrong to return your CD-ROM... there is no way that your problems
are due to bad hardware... it would seem more like you have a set up problem
with Win 98 (who doesn't). When CD-ROMs go bad they genrally just do not
work, and do not actually kill your system. It probably due to the driver
you are using.... the bane of Win 98.
