If your system come with a system dick, then boot from that and follow the instructions.\n\nIf not you will have to boot from a windows CD and re-install.

I assume that Oracle 8i was a database application.  Oracle 8i has been discontinued but you can get Oracle 10g express edition for free as well just be aware of its limitations:\n\nCan only catalog 4GB of data\nCan only run on one CPU\nOnly has access to 1GB of main memory\n\nIf you're okay with that you can download it here, \nhttp://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html\n\nAs far as I can tell Oracle 8i has been discontinued, at least from Oracle's site anyway.

Create a back up of a software, for what ?\n\nYou dont create backups of the installed version of the version. You just save the file generally called "setup.exe" on a CD or floppy depending on you .

what is the error that you are getting. Oracle 8i/9i/10g are all certified with windows XP. So They should all work. If you can give the complete problem I will be able to help

You need the Windows Backup Set (Microsoft Corporation)

Open Windows XP Backup\nWindows XP includes its own backup program, although you may need to do some digging to find it. You can also take your pick of third-party programs (listed at the end of this column) that add bells and whistles you won't find in the basic Windows XP Backup utility.\n\nIf you use Windows XP Professional, the Windows Backup utility (Ntbackup.exe) should be ready for use. If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you'll need to follow these steps to install the utility:\n\n1.\n Insert your Windows XP CD into the drive and, if necessary, double-click the CD icon in My Computer. \n \n2.\n On the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP screen, click Perform Additional Tasks. \n \n3.\n Click Browse this CD. \n \n4.\n In Windows Explorer, double-click the ValueAdd folder, then Msft, and then Ntbackup. \n \n5.\n Double-click Ntbackup.msi to install the Backup utility. \n \n\nFor more information, see How to Install Backup in Windows XP Home Edition.\n\nWith that chore out of the way, you're ready to begin backing up. By default, the Backup utility uses a wizard that makes the process straightforward. To start Backup:\n\n1.\n Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup to start the wizard. \n \n2.\n Click Next to skip past the opening page, choose Back up files and settings from the second page, and then click Next. You should see the page shown in Figure 1, which represents your first decision point. \n\n\n\nFigure 1\n\n \n\nTop of page\nDecide What to Back Up\nYou might be tempted to click All information on this computer so that you can back up every bit of data on your computer. Think twice before choosing this option, however. If you've installed a slew of software, your backup could add up to many gigabytes. For most people, the My documents and settings option is a better choice. This selection preserves your data files (including e-mail messages and address books) and the personal settings stored in the Windows Registry.\n\nIf several people use your computer—as might be the case on a shared family PC—select Everyone's documents and settings. This option backs up personal files and preferences for every user with an account on the computer.\n\nIf you know that you have data files stored outside your profile, click Let me choose what to back up. This option takes you to the Items to Back Up page shown in Figure 2.\n\n\n\nFigure 2\n\n\nSelect the My Documents check box to back up all the files in your personal profile, and then browse the My Computer hierarchy to select the additional files you need to back up. If some of your files are on a shared network drive, open the My Network Places folder and select those folders.\n\nThis option also comes in handy if you have some files you now you don't want to back up. For instance, I have more than 20 GB of music files in the My Music folder. To keep my data file backup to a reasonable size, I click the check box next to the My Music folder. This clears the check box from all the files and subfolders in My Music.\n\nTop of page\nDecide Where to Store Your Backup Files\nOn the Backup Type, Destination, and Name page, Windows asks you to specify a backup location. If you're one of those exceedingly rare individuals with access to a backup tape, the Backup utility gives you a choice of options in the Select a backup type box. No tape drive? No problem. Backup assumes you're going to save everything in a single file; you just have to choose a location for that file and give it a name.\n\nBy default, Backup proposes saving everything to your floppy drive (drive A). Although that might have made sense 10 years ago, it's hardly a rational choice today. You'd need dozens, perhaps hundreds of floppy disks to store even a modest collection of data files, especially if you collect digital music or photos.\n\nInstead, your best bet is to click Browse and choose any of the following loc

found on on metalink it says that version 9.4.2 has not been supported since 1997.  10.5 and 10.6 have not been supported since 2001.  10.7 not supported since 2003.\nIt looks like 11i is the only currently supported product and 11i.10 is the current version.\n\n11i has been around long enough that there are desupport notices for some of the earliest 11i releases.  That's rare for Oracle, usually they support the current major release.  I expect a new major release of the Applications to go along with 10g prety soon.  It'll probably be hinted at or announced at the next AppsWorld\n\nAlso 11i refers to the Oracle Applications - a suite of financial, human resources, manufacturing, and and accounting applications, not a database.  The differences between 9i and 10g can be found here:\n\nhttp://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/db10g.show_toc\n\nAlso found on on metalink it says that version 9.4.2 has not been supported since 1997.  10.5 and 10.6 have not been supported since 2001.  10.7 not supported since 2003.\nIt looks like 11i is the only currently supported product and 11i.10 is the current version.\n \n11i has been around long enough that there are desupport notices for some of the earliest 11i releases.

The thing Oracle hangs it hat on with 10g is Grid computing. I'm not using it so I don't care.\n\nIf you are a DBA, there's probably a lot of stuff in the new features guide that will interest you. As a developer / software designer using a non-Oracle front-end, the bits that interest me are:\n- Extensions to the MERGE statement\n- Extensions to CONNECT BY functionality\n- The MODEL clause\n- Table compression\n- Improved support for partitioned IOTs\n- A new front-end web deployment tool called Oracle HTML DB\n\nFor the nuts&bolts programmer, 10g is a bit of a disappointment after such things as:\n- PL/SQL (6)\n- Cost Based Optimizer, Stored Procs/Funcs/Triggers, Hash joins / Anti-joins, Bitmap indexes, MViews (7.x)\n- Partitioned tables, Object Relational features(8.x)\n- ANSI compliant SQL, MERGE statement, multi-table INSERT (9)\n\nI've been using 10g (rel1) for about 8 months. I've found fewer bugs than in first releases of previous major versions, but it's not exactly NASA-rated. Hopefully 10.2 is a bit more stable
