According to Oracle:

Initialization Parameters: Multiple Database Writers

On UNIX, you can specify more than one database writer process with initialization parameter DB_WRITERS. Multiple database writers can help, for example, when a UNIX port does not support asynchronous I/O.

DB_WRITERS is supported but typically unnecessary on Windows, which has its own asynchronous I/O capabilities.

so, i dont need to put another db_writer_process for the second disk?

For windows it is not necessary.....even if u put somehow(i don't know it is possible) it is of no use....
