I'ev installed dvd games before in 5 minutes...I highly doubt that halo 2 will take 40 minutes lol.
You probably haven't read the review of Tray and Play with Halo 2 Vista, then. It does take a substantial amount of time. That's simply the way it is, and stating that your Raid 5 array of SATA 3, WD Raptor* drives can install a full DVD game in 5 minutes is a flat out lie. Why? Because the world's fastest DVD drive can't really keep up with the worlds slowest HDD drive.
Installing a DVD game from an image stored on the aforementioned HDD setup could possibly install a full DVD game in under 10 minutes. But not from an actual DVD-ROM drive. Not for a long time will that happen.
*I make no attempt to pretend to know what you've got for your rig, nor do I care. But it would be...difficult, monetarily, to get an HDD setup that would be faster than this.
