Yea, this would be the easiest way. I could uninstall ALL Oracle products. And reinstall 8i. Then I could rebuild the database etc etc. I have a very nice writeup on how to fully clean NT of Oracle products.I have used it more than once. I might even have it electronically if anyone would like a copy.

However, in the interest of learning more about NT/Oracle, I wanted to JUST remove 8.0 and all the 80 databases. I tried Universal Installer and it wouldn't give me an option to remove 8.0.

I'm gonna try to do it with all the information you all have provided and see what happens.
