Yes.... If you abort you will have a coaster......Hell, you've waited this long, might as well let it finish and see what happens...
After it finishes, as Dust2Dust said, check how you installed and set up the drive....
Do you have the drive set as Master or Slave, is there anything else on the same ide cable as that drive?
As Dust said, reading the game shouldn't take longer than about 20min...
It takes a little less for me, but I use a seperate DVD-Rom for reading...
Burning at 1X: roughly 1 hour....
Burning at 2X: roughly 30 min.
Burning at 4X: roughly 15 min..
