I am not sure you can try this ... from your oracle main path in unix/linux/aix//sun environment copy init.ora file to pfile and edit it accordingly but you should have minimum idea about your system like controfile is residing . and then start the databse using from sqldbaor svrmgrl startup pfile /path/ and then you create spfile from pfile ... i think it should work .

if ur pfile and spfile both lost then u can do one thing that check alert log file and check necessary parameter for pfile and take that necessary parameter from there and create pfile from that and u can start your database

All the changes to the init.ora file is recorded in the alert.log file. So go to the alert log file in bdump directory and delete the unnecessary parameters from the file and copy that file to the desired location and restart the database.
