reuse existing dbf file from another corrupted DB server (OS)

584035Nov 3 2007 — edited Nov 3 2007
Dear all professionals,

I have an oracle DB installed in windows XP. But, few days ago, the windows XP was attacked by virus and cannot be startup back.

I have decided to buy a new harddisk and reinstall everything!

Now, I am installing a fresh windows XP and oracle DB in my "NEW" HardDisk. I would like to use back the old dbf files (which stores all the data) in the old harddisk which is storing the corrupted windows xp. Is it possible to do this?

Simply, my situation is...
my oracle DB is being stored in a windows that cannot startup now. But all the files in the Harddisk can be retrieve. Now, New Hard disk will be used and everything will be reinstall into new harddisk. Is it possible to copy the DB into new Harddisk and retrieve the old data

Simply, my question is,
can I have the original data in my new oracle db? Can I simply reuse back the old dbf files? Or, can I simply clone the old oracle DB into my new harddrive now??

Please kindly help! I have spent many days to fix it and I am very tired to keep fighting on this...

I don't wanna lost the data in the DB

Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Thanks!
