It sounds like dma is not active on your machine. You can check it with
hdparm /dev/hda
hpparm /dev/hdc
(or whatever your harddisk and cd are)
You can enable it with
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

If you want this setting to be permanent do so by
editing /etc/hdparm.conf. Add the following sections:

/dev/hda {
	dma = on
}
/dev/hdc {
	dma = on
}

See man hdparm (8) for details.
