Hello,
we are trying to create a database on an Win 2000 Server with Oracle 8.1.7, but we only get this error-log:
----------> snip <-----------------
SQL> startup nomount
pfile="E:\oracle\admin\SOURCEDB\scripts\init.ora";
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 118255568 bytes

ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed ORA-00200: controlfile could not be created ORA-00202: controlfile: 'E:\oracle\oradata\nmeofdb\CONTROL01.CTL' ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file OSD-04002: unable to open file O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.
----------> snap <-----------------
After this, we tried to create to db- and control-files on Drive C:\ at the same machine. We get the same error-messages, but the control-files where created by oracle. While connecting to the db, we get an error ORA-01092 (i think, this is ok, because the db was not created correctly)
We tried to create the database on several Machines with Win 2000 Server or Win 2000 Professional --> itīs ok On this Machines we tried it with 8.1.6, 8.1.7 and 9i without any problems.
Thankīs for any help
