Is it recognized in the BIOS, if you place a bootable CD in the drive will it boot from it? &nbsp;You may just need a new CD drive as this one may have died.

CD drive doesn't work. &nbsp;When I put a CD in, and try to see what is on the CD, nothing happens.<br />
I was thinking of reinstalling windows, but how can I do that without a CD drive?! <br />
<br />
So, how do I get the CD drive to work?<br />
<br />
As always, any help will be appreciated<br />

CD Drive not recognized in Windows 98

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
