Problem Scenario
You have cold backup of oracle database directory structure along with oracle software. Now your Windows OS got corrupted. So you reinstall your windows operating system and you try to restore the database.
After installing software you set the ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME environmental variable and whenever you create oracle service with oradim it fails with below message.
C:\>oradim -new -sid orcl -intpwd orcl -startmode manual -pfile 'F:\oracle10g\pr
oduct\10.2.0\db_1\database\initorcl.ora'
Instance created.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
Solution of the Problem
On linux environment you don't need these things. But in windows environment you need to do a lot of things more than restoring files. Whenever a windows OS gets corrupted you loose the Oracle Universal Installer repository and the regedit entries along with oracle home structure. So to solve the problem it is better to install new oracle software in your windows machine without any database and then create oracle instance and service using oradim.
