Your init parameters set should be diffrent for 'pin' and 'dev' databases. Especially controlfiles locations, archivefiles locations etc. otherwise dev instance overlays pin diles. Make sure you have different set of parameters for dev.

Hi,
Have you specified a new set of control files/log files for your new DB in the init.ora ? If not..then I think you need to do that first.
Cheers,
As Sambavan said in a previous post, this sounds like your ORACLE_SID environment variable is still set to 'pin' when you are trying to start dev.
Make sure that ORACLE_SID is set to dev before running server manager.
