Getting ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 48 - see DBWR trace file

Hi All,

I am getting this error on starting the db.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 369098752 bytes
Fixed Size 2083856 bytes
Variable Size 327156720 bytes
Database Buffers 33554432 bytes

Database mounted.
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 48 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 48:
'/db/NFIN10111/DATA/NDB10111_data/CRM_SYSTEM_1_NDB10111.dbf'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have some datafiles with one time stamp and some set of datafiles with another time stamp. I have no idea how it happened. This datafile 'CRM_SYSTEM_1_NDB10111.dbf'' has old time stamp where as 'system' datafile has current time stamp.

I did the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES;

System altered.

SQL> alter database open;
alter database open

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 48 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 48:
'/db/NFIN10111/DATA/NDB10111_data/CRM_SYSTEM_1_NDB10111.dbf'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still I am not able to open my database. Please let me know how to resolve this. My db is not in archivelog mode and no backup was taken. Is there any way I can recover this db? Thanks in advance.
