DVD Drive going slow..


I'm trying to load some files from my DVD and the DVD is taking forever to load. What do I do to make it actually work?

[Edit] I'm using Mandrake 10.1 Official

In the same drive? Could it be hardware?

The same drive, yeah. I loaded a CD, loaded quick and fine. I loaded Myst: RIVEN DVD and it loaded fine too. Try loading a DVD+R of backup files from the old XP install, nothing. Taking forever.
