Partially - you will ahve to do a lot by hand now. Consider installing again, and have
a default db created. Your network problems should be gone, then, too. Otherwise:

- create the service(s)
- create the database
- setup your network
- modify/add registry

Choice is yours - let me know.

See above - missing are OracleService(your SID) and possibly OracleStart(your SID)
