Description:
I want to use MySQL for our project. I received a data.zip and a my.ini from a colleague which I copied to the correct places.
Running in Windows XP under virtual box. Software will be used under Tomcat as a database to a webserver.
When I go to services and look for MySQL service. It is stating starting and never ends.

John

How to repeat:
Oops hard to say of course but this is what I encountered
