mysql database doesn't exist

I just tried downloading and installing mysql plenty of time. I tried
installing the "no-install" version and the other binary using
setup.exe. However, in both cases I just don't seem to have a mysql
database. I only see test.

If I go to C:\mysql\data\mysql I see bunch of files. However, if I log
into mysql and run "show databases;" I only see test. Also inside
WinMySQLAdmin under the databases tab I only see test.

I just want to do a new install, remove the anonymous logins like
every beginner tutorial suggests. However, I can not even find the
mysql database.

BTW, I am using Windows XP.

Please help.

Thanks/

Asad
