The drive is the master on the secondary IDE.

I'm currently running Win 2000

I've just had a look at the secondary ide settings on device manager and
'use dma when available' is set but transfer mode is PIO

Chris,
Is the DVD drive on Primary or Secondary IDE? Is there a much slower
device ahead of it on the cable? What OS? Anything else running at the
same time?

Tried using both Windvd and Power dvd.

I don't really know where to start to find the problem.
