Maybe I don't understand what you are saying but a cold backup is the complete database. There is no part there like you can do with a hot backup. So if you only backed up part of it the first time and part of it the second time and you are not in archive mode you are screwed. However, if it is indeed a full backup then just restore your latest.

The scenario is like this a) My database is not in archive mode. b) I have taken a cold back up on two different times. 6 data files in the morning and 6 in the evening. In between the database was started and again Was shutdown before taking back up in the evening. I want to recover the database completely but I don't mind losing the data of the period between the back ups. Can any one have solution.
