Redo logs lost - how can i recover?

My redo01.log and redo02.log have been accidentally deleted. Please - Is there a way to recreate them or recover them without recreating the whole database?
My Oracle originally 8.05 upgraded to 8.1.7 on Windows NT 4.0
Olav Torvund

I had Group 1 , 3 and 4 besides the difficult group 2.
When I do a select * from V$log; Group 2 is the current and the other 3 have status 'unused'.
the database is mounted but not open.
I tried what you said last:
ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 2;
and Oracle says:
ORA-01623: log 2 is current log for thread 1 - cannot drop
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: 'D:\ORADATA\DATA2\REDO02.LOG'
so it still points to the non-existing file.
Anything else i can try?
Appreciate your help

Soundbooth "generic error", recover lost files, huge file lost, how can I recover them?

Hello, I am using Soundbooth CS5 on Windows 7. I have been editing this .asnd file for some time. I have been saving and editing and saving and opening each day. However, today, I went to open it, and got "generic error". The entire file will not open. Also, when I checked on its properties, it said it was only 2kb, where in fact it was huge with multiple other files in it. Those files, by the way? They are all missing too. It isn;t a virus. I opened the file in the morning, it was fine, did work, saved it, never turned off the computer, came back later, opened it again to do work, then it gave me the error. Plus, all of the subfiles disappeared as well.
How can I recover these lost files, because I dilligently save. Where would they be stored? How can I find them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, iCloud notes are not included in backups, because they are synced between devices, this means you won't be able to restore them.

Recover when Online Redo Log lost.

Hi,all.
How do I recover the db while all the online redo log files were lost.
The database is running in archive mode and all the archived redo log files were saved well.
But since last hot backup,I have done some table inserting with nologging.
Now the database can not be opened.
Who can tell me how to recover the db to the recent state.
I remember the db was shutdown immediate.
(Do it make any difference to online redo log file between shutdown immediate and abort?)
Thanks.
wy.

I find out if I shutdown immediate and remove all the redo log files,I can recover the database as below:

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

Before you have another accident:
Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
And no backup, none at all...
Get your hands on a G4.
Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.

by mistake i upgraded my iphone from my friends computer & so lost my transsaction in accounts lite app, how can i recover my data

there should be a back up on your friends computer of your phone when it was restored. If there is all you need to do is restore from that backup and your good to go, I just hope that you did not plug your phone into there computer 2 times.
The first thing you will need to do is turn of automatic sync and then you can plug your phone in and restore from the backup that should have been made

lost all my pictures and videos while updating ios7.1.1.

You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS. But not all the information in the address book was transfered. How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

No I did not make a copy of my address book.
Some information was moved over, many did not.
I do not see a pattern.
I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.
