Ripping DVDs help please! Pioneer DVD-115 DVD-ROM

[philly33flyers]

Hello all. I own a DRU-500A and i have found...like most others here that dvd read speeds are extemely slow when ripping dvds. I have an old pioneer DVD-115 laying around, but apparently it won't work with Windows XP. I was wondering if anyone had any drivers for this drive and could post a link or send it via email or something? it would be greatly appreciated! i've been looking all over the web for drivers but have been unable to find any! any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

and you're running it without any additional drivers? just the built-in xp drivers?? master or slave?

Im using it with regular windows xp drivers and i believe its set to master. I also use intervideo windvd platinum if that makes any difference.

it runs under xp pro with sp1 in either position
