What you want to do is take the backup of the data files and restore it to the same location on a different server, restore the init file, spfile and password file from the source server. and then create a new service using oradim pointing to the right spfile/initfile. You also want to create the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and listener.ora files under %ORACLE_HOME%\network\ADMIN.

That someone called a backup a "gold backup" does not tell someone else anything about the backup and how it was taken. You might try to find someone where you work, etc to help walk you through this process. There might be a video on www.youtube.com that shows you what you need to do. You are not going to find someone to walk you through everything on a forum. There are too many steps and it isn't clear which steps you need to follow without knowing your environment.
