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
