I ve built my drupal site, then one day my windows XP was problem, than I want to reinstall my OS Windows. before I format my c drive, I already backup all my drupal site and export my sql data in phpmyadmin.

I backup my drupal site with copy my drupal site folder in directory C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mydrupalsite, then i copy all mydrupalsite folder to my d data drive.

After I reinstall my windows XP, I restore/import my sql data to phpmyadmin, then I copy back all mydrupalsite forder to C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\

after that, I try to access mydrupalsite -->http://localhost/mydrupalsite, and what i see is "the site off-line"

Have you tried (can you?) log in as the administrator - the login page should be accessible from http://localhost/mydrupalsite/?q=user ( type the last bit - /?q=user - just as that, don't use any user name!) and go to admin->site configuration->site maintenance and set the site back online? It may be as simple as the offline flag having been set in the database and it needs to be reset.
