"rails server" command not executing on windows

I'm in the very first part of building a rails app and I can't get the command

rails server to work, or really any other rails command. Whenever I attempt a rails command I get the help screen like this:

$rails server
Usage:
rails new APP_PATH [options]

Options:
-r, [--ruby=PATH]              # Path to the Ruby binary of your choice                                       # Default: /home/sgallagher/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-    p290/bin/ruby
-b, [--builder=BUILDER]        # Path to a application builder (can be a filesystem     path or URL)

-m, [--template=TEMPLATE]      # Path to an application template (can be a filesystem path or URL)
[--skip-gemfile]           # Don't create a Gemfile
  [--skip-bundle]            # Don't run bundle install
-G, [--skip-git]               # Skip Git ignores and keeps

nd so on (it gives me the same "rails new" command no matter what command I put in)...

Any ideas on what might be missing in my system or why these commands aren't responding? Thanks

P.S. Another peculiar thing is when I created this app, initially, I used the command:

rails new first_app This actually created two apps: one called 'new' and another called 'first_app'. It also didn't create a default Gemfile.

I am running Rails 3.1.0 and Ruby 1.9.2. on windows 7

Make sure you change directory in dos or terminal to the proper directory where your rails application is residing...

firstly try to make your app (e.g. $rails new app_name) then $cd app_name and finally run $rails server
