"which refuses to start"
--> What is the error that you receive on startup?
>>>>> The error it __gave__ was "UNDOTbs1.dbf size X is smaller than Y
blocks".
"The crashed database is deleted now and I only have the datafiles of the
crashed database somewhere on my filesystem"
--> If I read this carefully you are contradicting yourself here.... not?
>>>>> After trying to get the database to start for about a full day, we
just did a file system backup of all the files belonging to the crashed db
and later on went on to create a new db with the same name. We couldn't
change the name of the db, because a lot of developers were on this crashed
db :(
