Hi Ns

I too faced the same problem yesterday.And i executed the same steps as u did.Just the same steps.But like u i too didn't succeeded

Then in my backup control file i placed the NORESETLOGS Option in create controlfile command and i ran this controlfile.Because, if u put noresetlogs it will make ur control file current.and you can open your database simply like that.If you solved this problem by now it's cool.If not,and still you end up with any problems reg. this let me know.

Thanks
Ravi
