Hello,
I have a 233 MHz PowerPC G3 iMac with Mac OS 9.2.2. Everytime I insert a CD, I get the message "This disk is unreadable by this Computer. Do you want to initialize the disk?"
According to Apple Support article TA21650, I need to make sure that these files are in the Extensions folder of my System Folder:
* Apple CD-ROM or Apple CD/DVD Driver
* Apple Photo Access (if you plan to use Kodak Photo CDs)
* Foreign File Access
* High Sierra File Access (not present in Mac OS 9.1 or later)
* ISO 9660 File Access
* Audio CD Access
* UDF Volume Access (not present prior to Mac OS 8.5)
All of these drivers are in the extensions folder of the system folder. However, I cannot find "ISO 9660 File Access" and "Audio CD Access" in the Extensions Manager. Since they aren't in the Extensions Manager, I assume they aren't enabled.
How is it possible that these drivers are in the extensions folder but missing in the Extensions Manager? Apple recommends re-installing the system software, but it won't read any CDs! I don't remember having any CD-ROM problems when I used it years ago.
I enabled 9.2.2 Base Extensions, and it still doesn't work. How can I get it to read CDs again?
Thanks,
