Re: Restoring from OS files

Hi Mark,

   I think the simplest way to understand where the problem lies is to open a cmd window and issue
sqplus "/ as sysdba"
then inside sqlplus try
shutdown immediate;
startup;
and see the error message, usually it helps to understand what is going wrong.
Hope it helps,

   Giovanni
