Re: Problems insalling 8i on NT

what I would do in your position is the following

1. Deinstall Oracle using the Oracle Installer
2. Run regedit and delete HKLM\Oracle - I.E the entire oracle registry structure.
3. Check that no Oracle services are left - if they are remove using sc in the NT reskit.

Now having fully removed Oracle reinstall.

It also seems to me that your disk confiuration is likely wrong. I'd have expected to find the OS o the 3 gig drive and Oracle (and for that matter other data on the 20 Gig drive.
