Re: How to fool new server to use old data files?

Thank your all of your advices.
Finally I succeded.
Here is what I done:
1. On new oracle installation I created instances with the same names like I had before.

2. Than I stopped services from Control Panel for each instance
3. I restored old \orant\database folder from my backup tapes
4. Using program svrmgr23 I started instances doing following:

    set instance SID
    connect internal/USERPWD
    startup
    disconnect
   I repeated this for all instances.
5. Reconfigured TNSListener.ora, Listener.ora files. Now everthing is working properly.
Thank you once more.
