HI,

I know why you could not find the IIS in your windows.
Before adding the website to IIS, first you need to install IIS to your system.
For this you will need your windows XP CD & then install it.
After the installation go to IIS, right click Default Web Site go new->virtual directory, name it, point it to the root path of your website.
In this way you can install IIS on your system & then add your website to IIS.

I hope this helps.
