Hi all,

I've just installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) on my Win98 PC. The installation itself went fine but when I try to start the database I get the error message "ORA-205 Cannot mount database".

My hard disk is divided in 3 partitions, knowing:

c: 2 Gb for Win98 and some program files: 107 Mb free
d: 5 Gb for miscellaneous data: 2.81 Gb free
e: 2 Gb for the Oracle database: 1.06 Gb free

I tried reinstalling Oracle PE but that didn't help. Can someone help on this?

Tia,
