deleting Oracle SID in command prompt

user530299Oct 5 2006 — edited Oct 5 2006

Hi all,
I had Oracle 9idatabase installed on my system.I had to reinstall the Windows 2000 operating system on my computer. I used the Oracle 9i cd to deinstall evrything ,but when i try reinstalling it, i specify 'Oracle 9i' as SID and i get the message 'Oracle SID already exists. Specify another SID'.

I tried deleting the SID by logging in as Administrator and typing in the following in the command prompt

'oradim-delete- sid oracle9i'

I get the error message 'oradim' not recognized as internal or external command.

What do i do? Can anyone guide me?

Thanks in advance,
