Haven't had any problem with PB Pentium 75 to 120 using other CD drives. Sounds as if the Win98 install is faulty if you can't get into Device Manager.

More than likely your Packard Bell has the "CyberTrio" program running. It is a security feature that can keep certain files and programs hidden. (such as system files - device manager etc.) I believe - if memory serves me - the program is accessed in control panel or Start-Programs. Where it can be switched off (set to normal?)
