Hi,

I'm new to Drupal and PHP. However, I was able to get mysql, php and Drupal working on my local computer. I'm running Windows XP and IIS.

Our company has an existing Drupal Site that I'm trying to load onto my local computer. How do I go about doing this? If someone
could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Also, I have loaded the backup of the existing database into mySQL

You also need the sites folder and sub-folders. If it has folders apart from all and default, you will need to read about multi-sites to understand what is going on. Pay particular attention to settings.php as this will need to be the one that points to the backup database you have loaded.
