Hi All,

I had an installation of Oracle and my data files on separate HDs.
Just before I make a backup, the installation HD failed. So after I reinstall oracle how can I reconstruct my old database from the (oradata ) .dbf, .ctl files ?

Thank you in advance.

OS ? and release ?

if UNIX ...
just recreate init.ora... ( may need to delete lnk.ora )
start svrmgrl
try startup nomount ( shouldn't have any errors yet )
mount ( should be fine if all files are still here )
and open ( need to recover, apply archivelog )

if doesn't work give me errors messages

Hi !
( don't know 9i on NT .. but this should work )
U should use Oradmin to reinstall OracleService[[SID]]
try to nomount ur database
mount ( see errors if any )
try to open ... ( may need to recover )
if recover needed apply all archivelog... and pray :-)
