lousy dvd read speed

[Guest surface9]

I have TWO windows 2000 machines, an old p4 and a new amd 5600 with

sata. The problem is that the speed reading a dvd on the new machine

is about 3 times longer than the speed reading the same dvd (using the

SAME DVD READER) with the old p4 system. Both systems have dma if

available ticked, and the newer system has sata and the IDE DVD READER

ONLY (no other IDE Devices). The lights on the old machine are

flickering very fast, but, the lights on the new machine drag on. I

searched through control panel/hardware/devices on both systems and I

don't see ANY difference. If I connect an IDE harddrive to the new

machine, and transfer data between the sata and the IDE harddrive, the

speed is lighting fast.

 

What is causing this new machine to read from the DVD reader so

slowly? I am out of ideas.

 

I am using SP4 on both machines.

 

Help.
