WD Raptor 10,00rpm- Possible driver problem

I appriciate your help thus far, but I need a little bit more before I jump to any conclusions.
Given that I have a WD raptor and a DFI Lan Party NFII Ultra I Have had the following problems...

Windows has been noticeably slower
Windows explorer( My Computer) has been useless
Performance test ratings, rate the drive at more than twice as slow as my other IDE hard drives

So with that said I have reinstalled windows and the drivers associated with my hardware with the raptor as the only Hard drive. I have checked for all the newest drivers on WD, DFI and nvidia's websites; and still the same problem. Tonight I ran HD tach 2.61 and I discoverd that the constant and Max transfer rate was 2.2mb/s with an access time of 8.9. Furthermore, it says the cpu utilization was at a constant 100% during the test. All of which makes it seem like a driver problem... yet I have updated and updated and updated... Would you say I am missing something simple here or is there an actual hardware problem that the RMA staff should take a look at?
I would appriciate your help as the return period is quickly approaching for both the motherboard and the hard drive.
 
yes it is infact enabled. I just recently uninstalled all nvidia drivers and individualy installed each NV driver in order to avoid the automatic rollback done by SP1 for unsigned drivers
 
people on the forums have said that the newest Nforce drivers screw up IDe.... dunno if it affects SATA tho...
