you need to change the database prefix in your config file.
see this line
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
change wp_ to anything else. like maybe wp2_

Thanks for the input.
However, I did what you suggested and got the same result. I used wp2.
Any other thoughts?

I just tried to do the same thing….with the same results. It keeps saying its already installed. I also changed the prefix…nothing.
HELP
Same here – it’s been days now I can’t start a new blog. It’s a drag too because when I try different themes on an existing blog it messes thing up. I got rid of a custom header on blog A that is being used on blog B, and it disappeared from both blogs. Guess I have to create a new account entirely.
and not a single link to see what the problem might be.
The above solution should work. I have several blogs hosted in one database just by changing the table prefix for each blog. Always has worked.
A link of what…the error message?
Seems like there are plenty of similar questions already in the forum….and no answer.
I have changed my table prefix, did exactly as said in the multiple blog guide. Then I go to the install.php file and here is your link:

How can I log into it if its not installed? There is no credentials yet created.
I can log into my older blog no problem.

I see a blog located here – can you log in to it or are you just going to cop an attitude ? I can easily ignore your problem.
I am sorry, it was a genuine question…I am not an expert at all at this. Was not giving attitude. I did not understand the question before.
Yes I can log into http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex. But that a free blog right of wordpress.com. I would like to transfer it to my server like I did with my first one….but keep running into the error above.
Thanks
Maybe you’re already too far down the path, but if not…
Look into using the Virtual Multi-Blog technique (VMB) instead. For me it was a much easier way to install multiple blogs.
I did 3 or 4 blogs, installing separately, by-hand, like it sounds like you’re doing. It became a huge pain to upgrade them all. Then I discovered VMB and it’s been much easier to make 5-10 more blogs.

good luck with your sites
Thanks Dgold,
Sounds interesting. Even if easy may be a bit more then I can digest. Will study it and see if I can figure it out. I am pc savvy but maybe not quite that much.
I am still open to other suggestions.
