That might work.  I forgot that i actually have it connected to my PCI IDE controller (a Promise Ultra133 TX2).  May this be slowing it down?  Is there any sort of speed optimization settings for an IDE controller, or should i just swap the DVD onto one of the motherboard IDE buses?

Thanks for the feedback!
