TOPIC

    Multiple volume icons appear on the computer's desktop when an enhanced CD-ROM disc is inserted into a Macintosh.

DISCUSSION

    Symptom
    Multiple volume icons appear on the computer's desktop when an enhanced CD-ROM disc is inserted into a Macintosh. Because there are multiple icons on the desktop, it may seem that there is more than one disc in the computer's drive when, in fact, there is only one.

    Products affected
    • Mac OS 9.0 with Macintosh computers that have ATAPI disc drives
    • Mac OS 9.0.4 (and later) with Macintosh computers that have ATAPI and SCSI disc drives

    Solution
    Nothing is wrong with your computer. The Apple CD/DVD driver is designed to function this way. To eject the CD, drag all CD volumes to the Trash, or use the eject command in the CD control strip portion.

    The Apple CD/DVD driver included with Mac OS 9 makes the audio and data volumes of an enhanced CD-ROM disc appear simultaneously on the desktop. This allows access to both partitions of the disc from applications like iMovie. With previous versions of the CD/DVD driver, the audio volume would not have been available.
