Recover oracle 10g database from old data files I have an Oracle 10g database.

Unfortunately, our machine and system crashed and all the backups and Oracle archive logs, but we have old image copies of our data files and one of the control file (copy &amp; paste)

How can I restore our database from these copies?

I tried to create a new database and replace the old files with new files, but I couldn't (I got message, we need to open the database with resetlogs, but we can't open it if we didn't make incomplete recovery)

Please help me
Try to "recover until SCN..." before doing "open resetlogs".

You'll need the online redo logs to perform this (not clear from your question whether you have them or not)
