I have an old IBM PC with windows 98 1st. Recently, my CD drive burned out of it, and i had a spare so i plugged it in and it lit up, opens and closes so i assume it works. well, after tinkering i found out i was missing the file APPS.INF, and i obtained the file and went to look for the INF folder in the windows folder, but couldn't find it. I did make sure that all hidden folders were visible. So, i created a blank folder and put apps.inf in it, thinking it would work. well, it didn't. so now, i don't know what to do. I tried to run the search for new hardware wizard, but it couldn't find it either. I really need my computer back ASAP, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who help me.
