Comp starts in safe mode, config.sys error

Okay I'm apologizing in advance because I don't think this is in the right place but I didn't know which category to list it under.

I have an old computer that only boots in safe mode because when I try to boot it in normal mode I get this error:

The following file is missing or corrupted: C:\CDROM\OAKCDROM.SYS
There is an error in your CONFIG.SYS file on line 15

And it says it's missing device driver: IDECD000

The computer is an old HP Pavillian and runs with Windows 98 OS. I'm not sure of a lot of the other system specs. A couple of people told me that if you delete the line on the config.sys file that has the error, it will be fixed but I'm not sure if that's true and even if it is, I don't know how to do that.

Any suggestions?

Your cd driver is missing or bad. You can go to the link below to get a new one. Put it in the folder C:\cdrom.
