-take alls FRA backupsets to somewhere else safe i.e tape cartridge.
-Delete alls database files including spfile,pfile and password file
-Delete also cdump,udump,bdump,create.

Now you have been in disaster scenario.Now what you have to do is install the same version of oralce with same
directory structure and instance.

You may create the old instance by OS laterz after installing the oracle.


C:\>oradim -new -sid orcl
Instance created.

after instance creation ,create password file by using orapwd utility

C:\>orapwd file=C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_2\database\PWDorcl.ora password=sys

put alls backup files from FRA which is in tape cartridge to its respected location.
