Two Instances at one oracle Server

Guru's

In my test oracle server, i created two different database with SID
'orclsvr' and 'ora817'.

Is't possisle to create two oracle database instances on the same server?.

Presently am able to create only one instance at a time either for the sid
'orclsvr' or 'ora817'.

Oracle Server 817 on Win NT4 based.

Regards,
Nirmal.
