... when I go to start it using the "mysqld" command on the command line, the command processes but nothing happens ...

This is exactly what you should expect when running mysqld.

mysqld is the database server process that handles requests from any other program. When MySQL is installed as a Windows Service, it is this program that makes up that Service.

For a program that responds to you interactively, use mysql, the command-line client program (after starting mysqld in a separate DOS window).
