Answer 1

Unfortunately the default sample script installation process is not great for the novice. Please head over to this blog post
https://connor-mcdonald.com/2021/11/02/quick-and-easy-sample-data/
which describes why this is the case, but more importantly will give you a workaround which involves just running a single script in SQL*Plus. That script will also try to guide you through the process to avoid any errors, eg
| 1) Preliminary checks
| =====================
|
| You should be connected to the database at this point.
| If you are, then you will see the following:
|
| >>> Connected as: YOUR_USER <<<
|
| If you are not, you're will see the following
|
| >>>> SP2-0640: Not connected <<<<
|
| If you get this error, press Ctrl-C to exit this script and
| connect first before running it again.
|
| Tip: For Express Edition, the command to connect is *probably*
|
| SQL> connect system/yourpassword#//localhost/XEPDB1
|
| Once you are connected OK, then press Enter to proceed
|
Connected as: MCDONAC
Enter to proceed, Ctrl-C to stop
|
| Checking that we can write a file to the current directory
| If we can't, then this script will exit here. Please make
| you are running the script from the directory you saved it to
| and this directory is writable
|
File test passed!
|
|
| Now checking database details. If any of these fail,
| the script will exit with the error that you need
| to resolve.
|
Container database. PDB PDB1 will be used for installation...proceeding
|
| Checking current user details
|
You are connected as MCDONAC, ie, not the HR schema.
Hence this installation will drop the HR schema entirely
and recreate it. If this was not what you wanted, then press Ctrl-C
the installation, otherwise press Enter to continue
Enter to proceed, Ctrl-C to stop
