Hi Folks,

Now i am able to connect as internal. I added this username in ora_dba group and now it's allowing me to connect internal.

I lost the G drive on this box.

system datafile, control_1 file and archive_log_1 files is there in this drive.

I have archive02 destination another drive(F). That's is fine.

So i went into the backup and moved the system datafile into G drive. I edited the init.ora file and removed the control_1 line from the file.

So now i need you people help. What i have to do? This is not the production database but i want to try to recover as much as i want. Even i am not sure which is the
last backup(successed)? So i need some body who are familiar with WINDOWS 2000 and oracle 8.1.7. Please give me steps to recover from cold backup and recover steps from hot backup. Thanks.
