I understand that you are not able to view CD-ROM icon in windows xp. However, you are able to view icon in 98.
The issue could be due to drivers conflict. To resolve this, reinstall the CD/DVD drivers in safe mode.
In order to reinstall the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drivers, Please perform the steps below:
Reinstalling the CD-RW drivers:
================================
1. Click Start and select Control Panel.
2. Double-click the system icon. If the System icon is not found
directly under Control Panel, click the Performance and Maintenance
icon and then click the System icon.
3. The System properties Window opens. You can open the System
Properties window directly by pressing the Windows key and
Pause/Break key simultaneously.
4. Click the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button.
5. Click the plus (+) sign next to DVD/CD-ROM drives or Double-click DVD/CD-ROM drives.
6. Right-click the driver listed under this Category and select
Uninstall. In the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK.
7. Repeat step 6 until all entries under the device category are
deleted.
8. Restart the computer.
Windows will automatically detect and install the drivers for the device on restart.
