DVD drive wont read in OS

My friend has a KN9 Ultra with a Lite-on lightscribe dvd-r burner. Its hooked up with a fresh formatted NTSC SATA HDD. I booted up with a boot CD to get into DOS. The DVD drive read the winXP CD fine and everything was installed ok. But when we go into XP to load drivers for the mobo, the DVD player does not read the files correctly. When I click to open the dvd folder it tells me that the application is not a win32 file. It wont read any CD-rom or DVD-rom. If I go into MS-DOS, it will read the files but I cannot run setup.exe in MS-DOS. I am starting to think the MOBO is

Do I need a firmware update? If so, how do I install the firmware update if the dvd-rom drive is not working in the OS?
 
I am using a win98 boot cd that loads up DOS to use the CD-Rom Drive because I dont own a bootable version of XP or Vista.
 
it turns out it was a bad IDE ribbon but now I am having problems getting connected to the internet. I don't see any drivers on the ABIT Utility CD for the Network Card.
