I am in a bit of a spot here. Recently, I inherited an oracle 7.3.4
DB. On sunday the operating system (winNT) was reinstalled. Hence, all
registry and instance/services settings where destroyed. This DB
drives a number of internet sites. Now i am faced with the task of
restoring these DB's without a proper back up or mirror to work from.
Is there any way to restart a database using the existing initsid.ora
and control files. I have tried to create an instance and point it at
the existing init file, but when i try to log on to internal via
server manager i get an insufficient permissions error. I have yet to
figure out how to start the DB instance so i can log on to it. Any
help would be greatly appreciated! you can reply directly to me at

Thanks again.
