What error do you get from MySQL when trying to log in? Does the
mysqld(-nt) process show within Task Manager? What does the new error

You may need to reset permissions:
not sure, but it may be worth trying the following
run the script:
mysql_install_db --user=root
In the installation dir
this should change ownership and make mysql recognise the data dir.
good luck
