If you are using the Nvidia IDE driver, then that is your problem.
Uninstall the IDE Controller, reboot, select no, no, no to driver
installation questions. You should now have a Standard Microsoft Hard
Disk Controller with normal data transfer rates.
I had this problem, and this fixed it.
If you search this group on Google, you will find several thraeds about
this relating to Nvidia Nforce 2 MB's.
Good Luck!!
