My DVD is plugged as slave on the primary IDE as I have a CDR as master on the secondary.

Hardware accelerator is disabled at the moment, should it be enabled??

I sought advice about your prob and the suggestion is to enable hardware acceleration. Hope that works!

thats sounds like your problem.

install DVD as slave on the secondary IDE. do not connect cd/dvd's on the same IDE as hardrives(if at all possible).
