Question : Problem: Computer will not recognize CD ROM Drive

I have an IBM ThinkPad 600(I believe) there is a CD ROM Drive that was in it when I ordered it and was told it was working along with the floppy drive. However when I boot it up the computer only says that their are drives A (floppy) and C (hard drive) how do I make the computer recognize that there is a D drive (CD ROM) because there is not operating system and I only have Windows 98 on a CD ROM.
