Hello,

OS and Oracle crashed due to disk permanent failure, but all the controlfiles, datafiles, redo logs and init file are fine since they were stored on other disks. I've reinstalled OS and Oracle, now the challenge is how to make the new Oracle recoganize previous files to recover the database. There's no backup at all. I'm considering startup a new database and replace it with previous files but I'm not sure. Is it possible for Oracle to do such a "self-recovery"? Or, can I use the saved previous files as the backup and do recovery from them? Please help me out of this issue.
