Take a look at this

If you need to stay on windows, you can use the rails installer from [http://railsinstaller.com](http://railsinstaller.com). It makes setting up a development environment on windows simple. You may have issues with some gems in the future, but this will get you started. Also take a look at [http://railstutorial.org](http://railstutorial.org), it's an excellent resource to get you started.
