Re: Restoring from OS files

Hi Mark, I did this dozens of times, You are missing something try recreating the service.
stop service and

oradim -DELETE -sid %1
oradim -new -sid %1 -intpwd %170613474 -startmode auto -pfile E:\ora%1\init\init%1.ora -maxusers 5

Maybe you are missing some parameter, I don't know.

Now if you don't solve your situation then sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/ as sysdba
startup pfile=path open recover
and there you should see the problem
