Your problem, quite literally, is that you are using windows.

nasm is a tool that operates on .asm files (the actaul
filename/extension's irrelevant).  You're not giving it a file 
to operate on, and so it's operating on nothing. And the result of
operating on nothing is ... nothing. Which is the result you're 
seeing.
