We have an Oracle 8.1.7 server installed on a Win2K box in a dev environment with data in it. However, somebody did something on it which cause all Oracle services disappeared and thus the oracle server in unusable condition. Luckily, all the data files, log files, control files are intact.

How can I recover this database? Actually, all I need is the data inside that database. Can I use those files to create a new instance on my other Oracle server instead of recovering it from the original machine?

Thanks in advance for your help!
