Hello all,
I have a drupal site which is ready in a ubuntu machine,
Now the site is viewable from all the nodes connected with
my machine.Everything is fine.
Now, i need my site to be hosted in a window machine.
How to make it completely move from my machine(ubuntu) to that(windows).
I use
Ubuntu 9.10
drupal 6.12
windows xp
wamp

They reside where you upacked them on your local machine or your server.
I don't know where you put them. If on local machine, do a file search. if on host. login and get them
In local
On local machine i have those things.
In the local machine is the folder named sites have to copied to wamp?
is my doubt.I am still under the line please get me out.

every file that is in drupal and every file that you added to drupal needs to be uploaded to the server.
download a new copy of drupal and inspect.
compare with your localmachine
move all drupal files and folders.
There is no way for me to know where you install drupal on your system. In a "sites" folders doesn't help as drupal has it's own sites folder and there is no way for me to be sure we are talking about the same folder.
download drupal compare and upload.
Files not copying
The "files" folder cannot be copied to any external device.
Since i need to put in another system i just copied the sites folder
they cannot be completely copied to any external content
why?

that's an operating system issue not specifically a drupal issue. I move my files folder around with ease.
check the folder perms and the perms of the folders in it and above it. Make sure the files folder isn't so large that it won't fit on the flash drive.
