You shouldn't need to add anything except the snippet Paul gave you, namely:

    RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

This assumes you have installed Drupal in your root ie. that it is available by going directly to your site
