This is the expected situation, if you have not yet created the database. You now need to create it. One command of just two words will do:

CREATE DATABASE;

run that now.

post your alert logs,i guess one of your control file has been corrupted,if that you can copy file from another and rename.

Wrong guess.
Read the clue "I am creating a database manually".
So there is no database, no control file.

No "export" in Windows.
Please CAREFULLY read the posts.
Anyway, John already gave the solution.
