i have manualy create a database using this

1)ORACLE_SID=ORA10G... (set into Env variable )

2)Go to F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\ORA10G create new folder (ORA10G)

3) In ORA10G create new all folders adump,bdump,cdump,dpdump,pfile,udump

4) In pfile take a copy of existing init.ora from my orcl databse

5) Change this init.ora

6) Change parameters

7) db_name , instance_name ,control_files ,background_dump

dest,user_dump_dest,

Cool

save this file as "init.ora"

9) Create new folder in Oradata --- "ORA10G"

10) create service
Oradim NEW SID ORA10G SYSPWD ORACLE STARTMODE AUTO SPFILE

11) then i have check service is started or not in Control panel- administrative tools - sevices--OracleserviceORA10g---started

12) i have Shut down previously started database

13) Connect to SQL promp

F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin> set oracle_sid=ora10g
