Hmm.  No, it shouldn't take that lond.  It takes my samsung drive about 30 mins for an ISO extraction.

Is your drive in DMA mode?

I had this problem took 2 hours to get to 20%. Found out my drive wasnt unlocked. dvdpro didnt do it, but drive tools worked for me. Now takes about 20-30 minutes to back a game up.

if you have a Hitachi drive flashed with extreme v2.1 and using Isobuster method to extract the game, it will take forever. Try another method
