STEP 12:After clicking Install, this window will appear with installation bar moving to end slowly slowly, then you have to wait better to keep eye on a pop up because you have to insert DISK 2 and Disk 3.

STEP 12:After some time a small Dialog box like below will appears:

In this dialog box click browse button another menu will appear this one below, from it choose disk2 press ok and then again OK.

STEP 13:

After some time another same dialog box asking for DISK3 will appear like:

Again click on browse button another menu appears and choose DISK3 this time:

STEP LAST:

Now, the DISK3 is the last it will not irritate you again and installation will continue as normal. When the installation bar will reach at 100% another menu will appears which looks like below one:

This is the most irritating part for me atleast because it will take a lot of time but also the most important part it will create the sample database as well as ask you to set password to get login to use Oracle. For password and user name following screen will appears:

Step 14: While the process is creating the database the Database Configuration Assistant will prompt you for the passwords at this point. Make sure that you assignpasswords to the SYS and SYSTEM accounts-DO NOTLEAVE THEM BLANK-be sure to write them down carefully here:SYS___________________SYSTEM_______________You also CAN assign, through Password Management, new passwords for the other two accounts that are unlocked by default:DBSNMP_______________SCOTT_________________Note: if the user account SCOTT is left to the default value it is tiger The SYS and SYSTEM accounts are high-level accounts used to assign other users/roles and otherfunctions in the database. Be very careful not to LOCK these accounts! Once the accounts are set up correctly click on OK to continue.

SO I hope this guide will help you and you will easily now install Oracle 9i on your stand alone PC.
