And to chime in... I have same experience that Windows is a suboptimal environment, if not only from the fact that it 90% of the advice for Rails online is referring to *nix (including mac). I would also recommend getting up a simple Ubuntu vm. I tried configuring a Windows Server 2008 recently for rails production env and it was 3 days of complete hell. I had the whole thing done on Ubuntu server in about 1/2 day. Not that I had the same issue as you with the db.
Either that or just install InstantRails for Windows and get productive.... you can always learn to do the install later.

just yet.
More stuff to try:
* Do you have the mysql gem installed? (It looks like you do, but...)
* What version of MySQL are you running? (Some people have reported
problems with 5.1; you may want to switch to 5.0.)
If it were my development setup, though, I'd avoid both MySQL and
Windows entirely. I don't use Windows, but my understanding is that
besides its being a pretty bad OS in general, a lot of Rails tools run
less smoothly on it than on *nix (you can use a *nix VM, though).
Likewise, MySQL is a pretty bad DB in comparison to systems like
PostgreSQL.
