Some questions:

Have you setup the database name username and password in database.yml?

Have you created the database
rake db:create
and run the migrations (if any)
rake db:migrate

Are you able to access the database using whatever mysql interface is
available for windows?

Note that rails expects there to be a database even if you have not
got any tables in it yet.
