Hi, I have a question and maybe someone can help. We installed Oracle
7.3.3 on Windows NT, patched it to 7.3.4, then upgraded and migrated
it till 8.1.7.4, still under NT. We saved the files, cleaned the
machine and installed Windows W2K, because an upgrade fo Windows NT to
W2K always crashed.
After the installation of W2K, we installed Oracle 8.1.7.4. We deleted
this datafiles and moved the datafiles under it, which we created on
NT. We can mount the db, but at the open it crashes with ora-01092. I
tried everything like 'recover... backup controlfiles' or 'recover
until...', still the same.
I think that basically the files from NT to W2K are not compatible,
even if they're NTFS, I think something in NTFS changed between NT and
W2K, but if we would migrate the OS, we wouldn't have a problem.
Can somebody agree to this ? or give me a hint ? We really don't know
what to do. We didn't want to do export/import to save time, DB is
95G.
thanks for your help
