To remove Oracle8i from your server, launch the OUI (SETUP.EXE) from your CD and uninstall all components then open the registry and delete all ORACLE references.

regarding your installation problems, you are saying that you want to install Oracle8i on NT. What is your configuration i.e. CPU speed, Memory, Hard Disks??? I have been playing a lot with Oracle8i and I suggest you increase the size of the pagefile (2-3 times the size of physical memory, not more than 4,096MB during the installation). You may also want to have a closer look at the response files (.rsp) in the \response directory. You will then install faster in 'silent mode'. Let me know.
