I am try to create a new database in a Oracle 7 on Sun. What I did was in the work sheet area I typed:

create database mytest

	logfile 'mytest_log' size 500k
	datafile 'mytest_system' size 10m;

and then hit execute. The error message i got was:

ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01100: database already mounted

What happened?
