No and yes. Windows XP includes a generic driver capable of supporting virtually all CD drives. There is no driver specific to CD burners, nor is one necessary. The commands to write to a CD can be sent through the standard driver to the drive.

I downgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 98 and now there is no sound. How do I fix all the problems?
You have not mentioned your laptop model. Most likely your sound card is not supported by Windows 98. You must have got the Motherboard CD when at the time of purchasing. Try to find the sound driver from that CD. However there is more chance that you will not find the driver for windows 98 in CD. I will suggest you to find it from internet or again install Windows XP. Note from the asker: It is a Dell Latitude designed for Windows XP Home.

What is driver CD?
A driver CD is a CD that contains the software "program" that operates (drives) computer hardware. Many hardware components operate best when they are "driven" by the software created by their makers, rather than the generic drivers that are installed by the opperting system, e.g. Windows. In that case, the manufacturer will usually include those drivers, called device drivers, on a CD (they used to come on floppies) that the user can install on his/her computer by running the CD and following the instructions on the installation guide. Printers, for example, usually come with one, and computer makers include a driver CD containing device drivers for their components so the owner can reinstall them if necessary. Different device drivers must be written for each operating system and they are usually included on manufacturers' Driver CDs for Microsoft and Apple operating systems. Finding and installing them on UNIX and Linux systems can be difficult for a new user since manufactures frequently don't include them on their driver CDs, but this situation is improving.
