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.
