Hi all,

I have a new install of Oracle 8.1.7 on a Compaq ES40.  The install all went
fine, (so it seemed)
I tried starting up the db and got the error ORA-00205 Error in identifying
controlfile, check alert log for more info.

I looked around the entire system thinking the control files were
incorrectly placed.  The control files are not to be found.
There is no alert log to look at.  Can anyone tell me what may have happened
to the control files and how I can get them back?

Thanks,
David
