Did you save or do you have the database control files?
Do you have the init.ora or spfile?
If so, just use oradim command to recreate the Oracle instance service.

SQL>conn /as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate
Now copy all the files including control files of the previous database to the location where new database files reside.

Next create password file
Use ORAPWD utility

first "TNS LISTER COULD NOT RESOLVE THE SERVICE NAME"

Why are you trying to rename the database?? You should just be concerned with recovering the database.

Check ORADIM to learn how it is used.

BRIAN SIR, thanks for your reply,
i tryed with oradim

ORADIM -startup -sid orasrv -usrpwd manager -starttype SRVC,INST -pfile D:\ORACLE\ADMIN\ORASRV\PFILE\INIT.ORA

DIM-00011: The service does not exists
O/S-Error: (OS 1060)The specified service does not exists as an installed service.

Sir,since the OS was corrupted, i repaired the OS and REGISTRY.
everything working fine except oracle.I went into services.msc to start the oracle services;
i found no services named in oracle.
i searched through registry for oracle.exe; i found no entries;

so i reinstalled the ORACLE,and i take backup of d:\oracle\oradata\*.* and
d:\oracle\admin\*.*

And i installed new instance HTGORA in the same OS.
THE old oracle instance, not working was, ORASRV.

pls instruct me, how to solve this problem;

I want the data from ORASRV instance;

i have all the control files and spfile

sir, dont mistake me, pls do the favour in time , Thank u sir,

Bala

The db_name parameter in ora.init must be the same the db name in files, that the old name.
