I am a newbie to Oracle. When I try to start the database, I get an ORA 205 error. I'm running Oracle 8i on a PC with Windows 98.

When I try to start up Oracle,
(Start/Programs/Oracle 8i/Database Administration/Start Database)

it show the messages:
- checking security
- starting instance
- ORA 205 - Can not mount database

What could be the cause of this error?
