"CD-ROM Toolkit Failed to Load" Message at Startup

Power Computing provided the information in this article and it was deemed accurate as of 14 November 1997. Apple Computer, Inc. is not responsible for its content. This article is being provided as is and will not be updated in the future.

On startup I get the "This CD-ROM is being driven by another driver and CD-ROM Toolkit failed to load" message.
If you have the CD in the drawer at startup, you will get this message and a question mark will appear on the extension for CD-ROM Toolkit that loads at the bottom of the screen. The Power Computing CDs have a bootable system on them that will load the CD-ROM Toolkit. However, you already have the CD-ROM Toolkit loaded from the System Folder on your hard drive, hence the message.

The test for this is the eject the CD and then reboot the machine. The message should be gone.
