Is there any chance that the CD your trying to play is Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant"? :)
...because it sounds to me like it's a classic case of Master/Slave configuration.
Do you have your harddrive and CD-drive on the same IDE-channel/cable? That might lead to problems like this one where the CD takes control of the IDE-channel forcing the HDD (acting as a slave without a doubt) wait for it's turn and thereby causing a delay in the diskreading.
The solution is simple: have your harddrive and your CD-drive connected to different IDE-controllers so that you have one IDE-cable to you HDD and another to you CD or make sure that the HDD acts as a server which means that the CD would have to wait for its' turn instead which probably won't be a problem with a 40x CD-reader
