Eagle is on a distinguished road
your dvd-drive runs in PIO-mode. thats not good, it should run in DMA-mode. this should be the cause for that slow ripping speed.
Also converting the HDDs from FAT32 to NTFS will make things easier for you (e.g. no 4GB limitation for files and more)

To set your dvd drive in DMA mode try the steps:

- check if DMA access is enabled in the BIOS (should be enabled or AUTO)

- if this doesnt work, completely remove the 2nd IDE channel from the device manager and reboot. It'll re-detect the devices and hopefully now enable DMA access.

your current setup (hdds on chain 1, dvd writer on chain 2) is perfectly ok. leave it at that.
