I have a Win 98 machine.
I just installed a Pacific Digital CD-RW/DVD Drive.
To finish the installation I installed the WinDVD software and Direct X software. The problem! when I re-booted the PC, it only would boot into Safe Mode UNLESS I had the WinDVD software CD in the drive. If I take out the CD and reboot, it only boots into safe mode. Please HElp

Looks like the DVD software , Drivers are not correctly installed. Remove them from the Device manager and if needed from Install/Uninstall Programs and follow the driver install instructions of the DVD drive and software.
What happened the drivers were "installed" to run from the CD instead of from Your Windows Directory.

I encountered a similar problem ended up in a continuos loop (reboot - shutdown) I left the disk in the drive went online and downloaded the latest update, installed that over the top and things went O.K My problem was with In-cd, a nero product but the same should apply to your case.
failing that try out some of the other software options I would recomend NTI's cd maker v.6
