no.
Use alcohol 120% to create images of your CDs on your computer, which you can also burn to disk at a later stage, or just mount the image into the virtual drive. Alcohol 120% is available as a free trial, but c r a c k s are readily available (:o)

"is it suppose to take 2 or 3 hours to read into a image file?"

Are you sure you have your optical devices configured properly? Here's a few suggestions:

1. do not pair up two HDDs on the same cable/channel

2. do not pair up two optical drives on the same cable/channel

3. do not use Cable Select. Use Master or Slave jumper settings only

4. setup the burner as the Secondary Master
