Ah, since you really just want an example of how to set up a basic svnserve server on Windows 2003, here's a copy of what I wrote for myself before:
1) Please see this guide for details:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com
This is also useful:
http://svn.spears.at/
2) Install subversion: svn-1.4.4-setup.exe
3) Create a new folder D:\subversion
a. Create a subfolder D:\subversion\repos
b. Create a subfolder D:\subversion\repos\myfiles
c. Create the initial repository as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnadmin.exe" create --fs-type fsfs D:/subversion/repos/myfiles
d. Make sure it's well protected with Windows Permissions.
4) Open a command prompt, do this:
sc create svnserve binpath= "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root D:\subversion\repos" displayname= "Subversion svnserve" depend= tcpip start= auto
5) Start the svnserve as follows:
net start svnserve
6) Create a DNS alias "svn" that redirects to your svn server.
7) Go edit all the files in D:\subversion\repos\myfiles\conf
a. Example authz:
[groups]
b. Example svnserve.conf:
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
c. Example passwd:
[users]
harry = harrysecret
sally = sallysecret
8) Now use your svn client to checkout the repository, svn://svn.domain.local/myfiles
