Be ware that Oracle 10g is compatible only with 32bit vista and has a special
release (10.2.0.3) for vista. Other than than, I don’t see many problems, you
could try it though.
Of course, you may need to create the OS services with oradim to start
listener, db, emdb, agent, etc.
I think a saner approach would be to install a new home at the same patchlevel
of the previous home (you’d need to patch the original one to 10.2.0.3 at
least) and start the database using this set of binaries.

Subject: Sharing Oracle Database in Windows XP/Vista dual boot system
Hi All,
I have Oracle 10g installed in Windows XP, which is running properly on Windows
XP machine. Windows XP is installed on C: drive and Oracle is installed in
C;\Oracle folder.
ORACLE_HOME is C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db10G
I have recently added Windows vista to the same machine on D drive.
While booted into Windows Vista, I want to use same Oracle Server installed on
Windows XP.
So my questions is
Is it possible to use the Oracle Server installed on windows XP machine without
using any additional s/w, while I am booted into Windows Vista. I am assuming
that I may be able to setup Oracle required environment variable like
ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID pointing to c: directories and use sqlplus to start up
the database.
Thanks in advance.
