1. What Windows version do you use? 2. Have you checked the MySQL manual? http://www.mysql.com/doc/W/i/Windows_server_first_start.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/W/i/Win95_start.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/N/T/NT_start.html 3.

All your data is stored in the file. So, if you use only MyISAM tables you can copy these files directly to the datadir of your another MySQL server, but it's not a best way. You should use database backup instead of direct copying ..
