Due to an NT catastrophe, the registry got corrupted and had to be restored. The restored registry pre-dates the installation of an Oracle 8.0.5 database....as all the data files, configuration files, oracle excutanles etc are all still on the system, is there a way of simply recreating the service definitions and how is it done?

I tried creating a new database and then simply replacing the newly generated initorc0.ora file with my original, but obviously its a little more complex than tha as afterwards I received ORA-01223 and ORA-12500 errors (having attempted to juggle with the tnsnames.ora for a while).

Pls help if you can.
