Last time I tried to make an image, i let it sit for over 5 hours, and it didn't even get past 1%. Seriously.
You don't need to make the image. Leaving the CD in the drive is fine. It hasn't left my drive since the game was released in 2003, and still works just fine.
As for which drive to put it in, no, it doesn't matter. Personally, I'd put it in the one that can't write to CDs, since the laser has a less chance of a freak accident, corrupting the CD entirely.
