Looks like you don't have the "Apple CD-ROM" extension in your Extensions
folder. You need this to use CDs on your Mac. Make sure it's present and
turned on in the Extensions Manager.

The exception is when you start up with a *bootable* cd in the drive; then
it'll load a driver from that and doesn't absolutely need the extension,
as you have witnessed.

Also, to use non-Mac CD formats, you need Foreign File Access and its
associated files.

If you still can't get it to work, you can download and install the latest
version of the "CD-ROM Setup Software" from Apple at:

http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10204

which should install all needed files automatically.

Hope this helps,
