Hi,
I'm new to Oracle but I have been able to create 2 instances of Oracle on different drives under NT 3.51 with both Oracle 7.3 and 7.2. What scripts were you running and what error did you get? I found the documentation for how to create a database very confusing -- there seem to be several places where they tell you how to create a database, each slightly different. I encountered some weirdnesses when I created the 2nd of two databases/instances.
