I dont know much about Wamp. If you have a fast connection, why not try Xampp from www.apachefriends.org ? ... (about 30MB I think). It takes a few minutes to get it running.
As said above, place your Drupal files (or any other php folder or files in "htdocs" which is the Xampp root folder.
When installing Xampp, you will be asked if u want to set Apache & Mysql as a "service", which would be wise, so they start automatically on starting your PC, OTHERWISE you can start them manually via the Xampp control panel.
i already use xampp because i installed joomla 2 weeks ago.
can i use xampp for drupal too?
Apache & Mysql are OK!i have created a database for drupal but when i go to http://localhost/yourDrupalFolder there's a broblem:
"Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404

You can sure use many different scripts simultaneously on Xampp.
Just put your Drupal installation in a different folder from that of Joomla.
After unzipping your Drupal, you could, rename it to "drupal" and drop this in htdocs.
Your site will then be accessible at http://localhost/drupal
If you go to that page for the first time, you will be prompted to start the installation.
that presumes your Drupal folder is called "yourDrupalFolder". Is it??? I just used that in the example - and it should be replaced by what your Drupal folder in htdocs is really called.

To access your Drupal installation, you'd go to http://localhost/yourDrupalFolder
PhpMyAdmin for creating the Database: http://localhost/phpmyadmin ... This is similar to that you find on many online Cpanels.
After setting up the site, sometimes there's a problem with links being invalid, which can be solved by
editing:
That will definitely work. ;))
