Hi,

Some time ago anybody installed the Oracle (Server) 8.0.5 on the computer with WinNT 4.0 Server. I can't get in touch with him anymore.
The database "ORC1" is archived in 2 ways:
- by copying the whole directory \orant (after stopping all
services connected with Oracle)
- as .dmp file by using EXP80 with full option
I'd like to try to install the Oracle (from the same installation CD) and import the database "ORC1" on another computer with WinNT 4.0 Server. I want to do it now to be sure that I'll be able to recover the database in case of any failure in future. My questions are:
- how to install the Oracle Server 8.0.5 (typical, custom)?

what should I do before using IMP80 with full option? and/or
what should I do before using the copy of \orant directory? I need instructions step by step as I'm not experienced in it.

Regards,
