Hi,

I think you will find that some files installed by the CD Setup disk supplied
by Apple are missing or corrupted on your hard disk....Some of the INITs
supplied by Apple load drivers and the driver for a Mac-style disk seems to not
be loaded.

My recommendation?  Reinstall the Apple CD files from CD Setup
