OK, I have two separate Win2000 machines that I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise 9.0.1 on now, and I'm getting the same weird errors. One of the machines is Win2000 Pro, and one is Win2000 Advanced Server. I get through the entire installation up to running the Database Configuration Assistant. While it tries to make the database, it gets to the "Creating and starting Oracle instance" stage, and then the errors start. First, I get:

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed.

Then, I get:

ORA-01565: error in identifying file 'e:\oracle\oradata\homeDB\UNDOTBS01.DBF

But, that file IS there. However, next I get:

ORA-27046: file size is not a multiple of logical block size

and,

ORA-00210: cannot open the specified controlfile

obviously, since it wasn't created.

There are a few other errors, and if I ignore them all, the database starts fine, but won't mount since there are no control files. I'm installing a vanilla database, and I didn't change any of the configuration parameters, didn't unselect any of the default options to install, and I've tried using several different DB names, SIDs, etc. Same errors every time. On an WinXP Pro machine, I installed it all fine. Is there something I need to know about installing on Win2000? Note that I am using 9.0.1 because our university has a site license, and this is the version that is available so far. Note that I tried running the Database config assistant by itself after the install was done - deleted the database that it had made, and tried to make another. Same errors again. Any Oracle gurus (or novices for that matter) have any ideas? FYI, the CloneDBCreation.log file output is copied in below, in case it helps. I'm not experienced enough to see anything from it. Also, the UNDOTBS01.DBF file is 209,719,291 bytes, since this seems to be what it doesn't like. How would I control this?

Thanks.
