Question : USB Flash drive works great, but CD & CDRW don't show up on My Computer anymore.

I got this new little gadget for moving files between home and office.  64Mg Flash drive for the USB port.  It's hot swapable and works like a charm.  With Win98 on my home system, I needed to load the drivers that came with the thing.  It  shows up on My Computer as a Removeable Disk (D:) when it is plugged in.  Well, now neither my CD reader, nor my CDRW show up on the list of drives to select from.  Smells like a conflict of drive letters to me.  How do I get my other drives back and specify a letter for the Flash drive?  The thing is handy, but so are my CD's!  Thanks.
