Now you are really taxing the brain here as 7.3.4 is way too old to be doing anything useful. The corrupt data file appears to be the system tablespace. How did you "bypass all". You cannot attach "screen shots" in Usenet as most readers do not see them... What is the text of the 4505 error message?

what happens when you:

recover data file <datafile>;

or

recover database;
