What version of Oracle?
Anyway, I second David Fitzjarrell's post. In addition to creating a database, you'll need to look up how to use Oracle's import function ("imp" or "impdp", depending on your version) in the Utilities Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
