 * You need to use Phpmyadmin to delete the old database. Then set up a fresh db,
   add WP as a user to the new db with full privileges. Then try and run the installation
   process.

 * Not really, no. I’d be more concerned about why the table creation part of the
   install process is failing. Did you download a fresh copy of WordPress?

 * Sorry? Pasting it to your _database_? How exactly are you running the installation
   process?

   step by step. You might also want to review [installing WordPress locally](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Installation_Techniques#Installing_WordPress_Locally).
