Hi all,

I have a new install of Oracle 8.1.7 on a Compaq ES40. The install all went fine, (so it seemed)
I tried starting up the db and got the error ORA-00205 Error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info.

I looked around the entire system thinking the control files were incorrectly placed. The control files are not to be found. There is no alert log to look at. Can anyone tell me what may have happened to the control files and how I can get them back?

Thanks,
David
