Check the permissions on the folder containing your Rails app (wherever XAMPP requires the Apache root to be). Did you generate the application there directly, or did you copy it over from another folder on your PC? I have no idea what user XAMPP runs as, or what user its Apache daemon runs as, but that user will need permission to execute folders and read files within the Rails root (and write log files), and the /public stuff will naturally need to be 755 (folders) and 644 (files) for "world" access, even if it's just you looking at it on the same PC over a localhost URL.
I'll repeat (again) what I've heard so many times over the years on this list: this is all orders of magnitude easier on Linux (boot or VM) or a Mac. Engine Yard has a very nice setup to allow Rails dev on a PC in Windows, you might want to check that out as well.
