No driver is required on the Windows 98 system. To do burning you will need to install compatible 3rd. party recording software like Nero or Easy Cd Burner by Roxio as Windows 98 does not provide any burning support like Windows XP does.

And most burning software made to work in Windows 98 will not work on a Windows XP machine. Newer burning software is required for Windows XP. But of course Windows XP doesn't require any recording software for burning cd-r disks since that's built right into Windows XP WMP. Additional 3rd. party burning software is only required if you need to burn cd-rw disks in Windows XP.
