Help - Sanding & Painting Cabinet

I am preparing my cabinet (Dead Angle, don't know what it was originally, but cabinet appears to be generic), and I am going to sand and repaint it. I have a regular disc sander, and got some 60 grain pads for it. I started sanding it, and the top layer of glossy black paint came of very easily. Below that, there is a dull black paint, which took a lot more time to get through. After that, there was an original white paint job, and that is taking forever to get through. I haven't made it very far yet, and it seems like it will literally take days to get the paint off at this rate.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to get the original paint off, without using gasoline and a match? :)

Also, once I get the cabinet stripped, I want to paint it with a high-gloss black. I've never painted anything like this before, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how many coats of paint, what type, spray or brush, etc?

Thanks in advance...
