Copying DVD contents to HD painfully slow...

Hi,

I've got relatively current gear (Seagate & WD drives, and a Plextor DVDR
drive) but I'm finding the 90 minutes it takes to dump the content of a DVD
onto my HD unnecessarily excessive. Is it supposed to take that long to copy
3-4 gigs worth of raw data to a HD? The target drive isn't even the one
Windows is installed on, which is supposed to help speed-wise.

What could be causing this, and how could I tweak WinXP (fully patched) into
speeding this up? I've got 4GB of ram (even though 2 are being wasted most
of the time).

Thanks.
