Make sure you have stopped/destroyed/killed any previous incarnations of your database first. You can't do create database twice.

Start with this, then modify it for your system.

set echo on
set termout on
spool createdb00_01.log
connect internal/oracle
startup nomount pfile=(path to the init.ora file)
create database db00
logfile
group 1 ('D:\ORACLE\admin\db00\redo_01a.log',
'D:\ORACLE\admin\db00\redo_01b.log'
) size 100K,
group 2 ('D:\ORACLE\admin\db00\redo_02a.log',
'D:\ORACLE\admin\db00\redo_02b.log'
) size 100K
maxlogfiles 32
maxlogmembers 2
maxloghistory 1
datafile 'D:\ORACLE\admin\db00\system01.dbf'
size 75M
maxdatafiles 254
maxinstances 1;
spool off
