My mate wants to put a USB PCI card in his mums PC
The PC is running Windoze 98 but the problem is he needs the Win 98 disc
for the drivers and cannot find it

My question is... I have a Win 98 disc, will this work as it is not the one that
was used for the install on his mums PC

very frustrating when helping someone out, for them to turn round and say "I don't have the disk anymore" LOL

for windows 98 always check in C:\windows\options\cabs

quite often that is enough to allow the install to continue

If you know the make/model of the card you should be able to download compatible drivers from the internet. Save them to disc (or disk) and then point the installation routine at that.
