Pls. help me... I need this dB by Saturday! Thank you in advanced.
It's been 2 days from now that I'm bugging with this kind of error in my manual dB creation. I used DBCA first but we had a default directory settings, that's why I resorted to create the db manually. The dB was already created and currently has a status of STARTED.. I cannot mount it due to this error:

00205, 00000, "error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info"
// *Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and
// size.
// *Action: Check that ALL control files are online and that they are the same
// files that the system created at cold start time.

If you are trying to CREATE DATABASE, the command is run in NOMOUNT mode. The CREATE DATABASE also creates the controlfiles.

Therefore, your sequence should be
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE DATABASE ..............
