[Quoted] Hello fellows/oracle experts:

[Quoted] I'm a sort newbie or born again in this field. I am describing here what Idid:
I downloaded disk1, disk2, disk3 from the Oracle.com site; I installed oracle 9i with few products, but i didn't find or could not download anythingfrom disk2 and disk3 downloads files.

ALthough it appears that I've now oracle application development with sql plus, but i couldn't access any of the sample data in the oracle, i triedwith sys / change-on-install it gives me an error: sql: host echo %Oracle_home%; on Windows; ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error;

Could u help me to solving this problem

With Best Regards,

Ely

PS:
disk2 and disk3 however gives me bunch of files but none of them seems like executable files or installable files. Yes, my operating system is Windows XP.  

I don't have code which works now for <metalink>, i wonder if you folks could help me in that regards too.  

Regards,
