I am trying to create a local copy of the drupal site I'm administering. I have successfully copied the database and set up Apache server in windows XP. when I try to access the local site at http://localhost, I can access the first page but I get the 404 for any other pages.

What could possibly be wrong?

The site in production uses clean URLs and I think I have set everything write to use the same in my local server.

Is there a way to disable clean URLs, even if I cannot access the administration page in drupal? Is clean URLs even an issue in this case?

If this is a clean URLs issue, you should still be able to access all your pages using the http://example.com/?q=user syntax. To disable clean URLS, the url would be http://localhost/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls

Thanks for the info. I solved the problem by going through the Apache documentation and configuring the Rewrite module correctly.
